I've repaired many Mercedes-Benz vehicles and found that the cigarette lighter fuse for the ML400 is usually located in the fuse box under the dashboard on the driver's side. The box cover has icons or labels indicating positions like 'Cigarette Lighter'. The exact location may vary depending on the year and configuration. For example, the 2015 model might have it near the knee area, requiring a special tool or manual panel removal to access. Check the fuse number, typically a 15A or 20A fuse labeled as F55 or F60. If the cigarette lighter suddenly stops working, it's often due to a blown fuse, commonly caused by plugging in high-power devices like fast phone chargers, which overload and trigger the fuse's protective function. When replacing it yourself, first turn off the engine and remove the key, then carefully use a fuse puller to remove the old fuse and insert a new one. If you can't locate it, it's best to consult the manual or search online owner forums. Avoid plugging in random peripherals during regular use to extend component lifespan.
