Where is the cigarette lighter fuse of Audi A6 located?
3 Answers
The fuse for the front cigarette lighter is located in the trunk, specifically beneath the right-side storage compartment with a mesh pocket. Here is some information about the Audi A6: 1. The Audi A6 is a mid-to-large size luxury vehicle under the Audi brand, with its direct competitors being the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class. 2. The domestically produced Audi A6L is equipped with three engine options: a low-power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, a high-power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, and a 3.0-liter turbocharged engine. All three engines are typically paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I've been driving an Audi A6 for several years. The location of the cigarette lighter fuse is usually in the car's fuse box, right under the dashboard next to the driver's seat. Look down towards the footwell of the driver's seat, and you'll find a small plastic cover. Pry it open to see the fuses. It might be labeled 'CIG' or something similar, with an amperage typically around 15A, depending on the model year. For newer models, it might be in the glove compartment on the passenger side. If the cigarette lighter suddenly stops working, it's most likely a blown fuse, possibly caused by using a high-power charger that caused a short circuit. When replacing it, first turn off the engine, use small pliers to pull out the old fuse, and insert a new one with the same amperage. The detailed diagram in the manual is very helpful; otherwise, just go to a repair shop to save time and effort and avoid electric shock.
As someone who frequently repairs cars, the cigarette lighter fuse for an Audi A6 is usually located in the fuse box on the driver's side. Open the cover at the lower left of the dashboard near the driver's seat to find it. The fuse diagram will indicate the cigarette lighter's number, typically in the F series such as F32 or F45. A blown cigarette lighter fuse is often caused by excessive current, such as connecting a high-power device. When replacing it, remove the old fuse, check the melted line, and install a new one with the same 15A specification, ensuring it's securely in place. Safety tip: Avoid using high-current plugs indiscriminately to prevent short-circuit issues affecting the overall circuit. If unsure, it's safer to take the car to a professional shop to check the wiring.
