Where is the cigarette lighter fuse located in the Trumpchi GS4?

The cigarette lighter fuse of the Trumpchi GS4 is located in the cabin fuse box. Here are some precautions for using the cigarette lighter: Avoid using electrical appliances with excessive power on the cigarette lighter: The maximum power capacity of a cigarette lighter is generally 120W. Exceeding this value can easily cause the cigarette lighter to overload, leading to various hazards such as burning out the cigarette lighter. Start the vehicle when using the cigarette lighter for extended periods: If you need to use the cigarette lighter for a long time or with high-power devices, start the car engine to enhance the power supply. This prevents draining the car battery. Properly plug and unplug the cigarette lighter: The cigarette lighter has a separate safety device. The correct method is to insert and remove it vertically. Avoid pulling it out while shaking, as frequent shaking can loosen the cigarette lighter fuse and cause short circuits, which may burn out the fuse and external devices. Unplug external devices promptly after parking: After turning off the vehicle, quickly remove any external devices connected to the cigarette lighter. Otherwise, when starting the vehicle, the large current surge can easily burn out the devices, especially MP3 players and USB drives, which are particularly prone to issues.

I've been driving a GAC GS4 for several years, and the location of the cigarette lighter fuse is mainly in a small box under the dashboard in the cabin, specifically in the area near the steering wheel's left side and the foot brake. The fuse box cover has a label diagram indicating that the cigarette lighter usually corresponds to a 10A fuse labeled F21 or F33. Replacing it is quite simple but requires caution: first, turn off the engine and remove the key to ensure power is off, then use professional pliers or your fingers to pull out the old fuse and insert a new one of the same specification. If it still doesn’t work after replacement, the issue might be deeper, such as a short circuit in the wiring or a faulty cigarette lighter socket. I’ve encountered similar situations before—frequent use of 12V chargers can easily blow the fuse, so it’s advisable to use electricity wisely and avoid plugging in multiple high-power devices simultaneously to prevent trouble.
