Where is the cigarette lighter fuse located in the Verna?
4 Answers
The cigarette lighter fuse box in the Verna is located behind the cover panel below the left side of the driver's seat. The cigarette lighter is a standard component in all vehicles, designed to provide a flame source for smokers. Common mistakes when using the cigarette lighter include: 1. Not unplugging external devices during startup: External devices connected to the cigarette lighter can be damaged by the high current surge during vehicle startup, especially MP3 players and USB drives. Always unplug them before starting the car and reconnect after startup. 2. Not unplugging external devices when turning off the engine: Depending on the vehicle's settings, some cigarette lighters remain powered even after the engine is turned off, leading to unnecessary battery drain if devices are left plugged in. 3. Wiggling during plugging/unplugging: Excessive movement can deform the curved spring contacts of the plug, resulting in poor connection and intermittent power supply. 4. Frequently bumping the cigarette lighter plug while driving, causing it to loosen over time.
A couple of days ago, the cigarette lighter in my Verna suddenly stopped working, which was really frustrating. Later, I checked its location—it's under the dashboard on the driver’s side, near the left leg, where there’s a fuse box. Opening the box cover, there’s a diagram showing the fuse numbers. The cigarette lighter is usually labeled ‘CIG LTR’ or something similar, and it could be FUSE 5 to FUSE 10, varying by model year. If you can’t find the exact number, just pull them out and check which one is blown. When replacing it, remember to turn off the engine and use plastic tweezers to gently remove and insert the new fuse—avoid metal tools to prevent short circuits. A blown fuse is often caused by overloading the cigarette lighter with too many devices, like using a phone charger and an air purifier at the same time, leading to excessive current. If you’re not familiar with circuits like me, it’s best to visit a 4S shop or call a mechanic first to avoid damaging other components.
As a long-time owner of a Verna, I'm very clear about this. The cigarette lighter fuse is located in the fuse box at the lower left corner of the dashboard. When you open the cover, you'll see a row of small fuses. The cigarette lighter is usually labeled as FUSE 7 or FUSE 12, though this may vary depending on the model year, but you can always identify it by the cigarette icon. Why does it blow easily? Common reasons include overloading the cigarette lighter socket, such as prolonged use of high-power USB chargers or cigarette lighter adapters that overheat, or short circuits in the wiring. I've experienced this twice myself - simply replacing it with a new 15-amp fuse solved the problem. Remember to always turn off the engine before operating to prevent electric shock. Get a fuse puller tool (you can buy a set online) - don't try to pull it out by hand.
After driving my Verna for ten years, whenever the cigarette lighter fuse stops working, I always check the fuse box near the driver's footwell first. The location is intuitive—just lift the panel, and you can see the cigarette lighter fuse, usually a small blue or yellow square labeled between FUSE 5 and 15. Refer to the manual or the diagram on the cover for confirmation. A blown fuse can result from a short circuit in the cigarette lighter device or aging. Last time, mine blew due to a faulty charger—just replace it (low cost), but remember to disconnect the battery first for safety.
