Where is the cigarette lighter fuse located in the Regal?

[IsabellaRose]

The cigarette lighter fuse in the Regal is located in the leftmost cover of the main driver's center console. For some models, the fuse for the rear cigarette lighter is located in the fuse box on the side of the trunk, which can be accessed by opening the flap without having to pull the fuse directly by hand. Below is an introduction on how to use the cigarette lighter: 1. First, locate the cigarette lighter button. This button is a circular one with a cigarette icon (or voltage value). Turn on the cigarette lighter and let it heat up to a level sufficient to ignite smoke. The cigarette lighter will automatically pop out, and a slight sound will be heard when it pops out. 2. Note: Pick up the popped-out side and use the other side to light the cigarette, then gently touch the smoke to ignite the cigarette. 3. The cigarette lighter does not produce an open flame. It is recommended to use the cigarette lighter for smoking while driving.

As a car owner with experience to share, the cigarette lighter fuse in the Buick Regal is typically located in the fuse box under the driver's seat or on the passenger side. This box is hidden near the foot pedals—just gently pry open the cover to see a diagram labeling each fuse number, with the cigarette lighter usually marked as 'CIG' or similar. If the cigarette lighter suddenly stops working, avoid forcing objects into it, as it's likely a blown fuse—often caused by overloading with high-power car devices or a short circuit. I've replaced mine once: first, turn off the engine and remove the key, use a tool to pull out the old fuse, then replace it with a new one of the same amperage (usually around 15-20A, as noted in the manual). The process is straightforward but prioritize safety—avoid touching wires to prevent electric shock or system damage. If unsure of the location, check the vehicle manual or search online for a diagram matching your Regal's year. Otherwise, visiting a repair shop for professional assistance is safer to avoid messing up the circuitry.

When I usually drive my Buick Regal, I have encountered cigarette lighter failures. Actually, the fuse location is quite easy to find—it's inside the car's fuse box. Specifically, it's in the small box near the driver's footwell area. After opening it, look for the fuse socket marked 'AUX' or 'Cigarette Lighter' according to the icons. The first time I fixed it myself, it took some time because the box cover had a color diagram, but it was hard to see in dim lighting. Later, using my phone's flashlight made it much easier. If the cigarette lighter doesn't light up, the fuse must have blown, often caused by overcharging, such as using a phone charger with excessive power. The steps to replace the fuse are straightforward: after parking the car safely, remove the blown fuse, confirm the same specifications, and replace it with a new one—don't cut corners by using the wrong amperage. The whole process takes less than five minutes, but beginners should bring a friend to help check the manual or online video guides to ensure it's done correctly the first time.

I often tinker with cigarette lighter issues. In the Buick Regal, the fuse is located in the fuse box under the interior trim panel, sometimes near the side of the steering wheel. In principle, this cigarette lighter fuse is a protective device that automatically cuts off in case of current overload or short circuit to prevent more serious electrical failures. Finding its location is simple—just pry open the small cover and check the labels; usually, F12 or F15 is designated for the cigarette lighter. The most common cause of a blown fuse is plugging in multiple devices or using low-quality chargers. Replacing the fuse will restore functionality. Before starting, turn off the engine and cut the power to avoid sparks for safety. Then, use needle-nose pliers to easily remove and insert the fuse, being careful not to damage the socket. The whole process isn't difficult, but it's good to have spare fuses and a flashlight handy for better visibility in low-light conditions.
