Where is the cigarette lighter fuse located in the Odyssey?
2 Answers
The front cigarette lighter fuse of the Odyssey is located in the fuse box above the driver's foot pedal, while the rear cigarette lighter fuse is situated in the fuse box on the right side of the trunk, which can be accessed by removing the cover. It's important to note that fuses of different specifications should not be installed in the same position, as this may cause a fire. The Odyssey is an MPV produced by GAC Honda. In terms of body dimensions, it measures 4847mm in length, 1820mm in width, and 1702mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2900mm. For powertrain, the vehicle is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, paired with an electronic continuously variable transmission. The front wheel brake type is ventilated disc, while the rear brake type is disc.
I remember when the cigarette lighter in my Odyssey broke that time, I went through a lot of trouble to locate the fuse box. It's usually near the dashboard under the driver's seat – just crouch down and you'll see a small cover. Lift it open and there's the array of fuses. You need to look for the cigarette lighter icon on the diagram or the words 'cig lighter' in English, typically using a 15 to 20 amp blue fuse. That's where it was in my older model, but be careful not to mistake the location as it might be hidden behind the glove compartment or near the door. If the fuse is blown, simply buy an identical replacement and swap it out, but remember to turn off the power to prevent short circuits. It's not particularly difficult to replace – just use a small clip to pull out the old one and insert the new one. Keeping a few spare fuses in the car is really handy to avoid suddenly being unable to charge your phone during long trips. I recommend checking the cause first, like whether it was due to an overloaded charger or a loose socket, to prevent it from blowing again. Safety first – wear gloves when doing it yourself for extra security, or just take it to a professional shop if you're unsure.
