Where is the cigarette lighter fuse of Chery e5?

The cigarette lighter fuse of Chery e5 is located in the fuse box on the left side of the engine compartment and above the clutch pedal. Differences: The power supply for small cars is generally DC 12V (may vary depending on the model), with the central elastic head as the positive pole and the two side clips (ears) as the negative pole. It is directly connected to the car battery, and the current and power are the same as those of the battery. Usage: The car cigarette lighter is an electronic device similar to a multi-hole power socket for household use. It connects to the car power supply through a plug and then extends multiple cigarette lighter sockets. The cigarette lighter socket is very useful for car owners who frequently use car electronic products, such as charging mobile phones, MP3/MP4, and other digital products. In addition to providing power for cigarette lighters, it can also be equipped with a car inverter, which converts the car's 12V, 24V, or 48V DC power into 220V/50Hz AC power for ordinary electrical appliances. The car inverter is best used in a split type, with the power of the electrical appliance limited to below 150W, and the output current not exceeding the battery current.
Last time my E5's cigarette lighter suddenly lost power, and after struggling for half a day, I finally found the fuse located near the left leg of the driver's seat. Bend down and feel under the dashboard, there's a small plastic cover around knee height. Pry it open with your fingernail to reveal many small colored fuse chips. Look for the one marked with the cigarette lighter icon—usually the 15A blue one. Later, I realized it blew because I overloaded it with an air pump. Now I always keep a few spare fuses in the car; you can buy a whole panel of them for two bucks at an auto parts store. Replacing it yourself is simple: use a plastic clip to pull out the bad one, and when inserting the new one, make sure it's oriented correctly—don't put it in backwards.
Just helped my neighbor with this issue a couple of days ago. The cigarette lighter fuse for the Chery E5 is located under the left side of the steering wheel. From the driver's seat, reach down and you'll find a small square box with clips near the door side—press to open the cover. The back of the cover has icons indicating each fuse's function; just look for the cigarette lighter symbol. My neighbor mentioned her charger suddenly cutting out before was due to this, so she suggested keeping a few 15A fuses in the glove box. Remember to turn off the engine and power when replacing—just wiggle the fuse left and right with your fingers to pull it out. If fuses burn out frequently, check if your car charger's power rating is too high.
Having worked on many Chery models, the cigarette lighter fuse is generally located in the cabin fuse box. For the E5, the specific position is on the far left side of the instrument panel, above the clutch pedal. After removing the rectangular cover, you'll see two rows of colored fuses. The cigarette lighter fuse is usually in the middle row, a 15A blue square. Remember to disconnect the vehicle's power before each replacement and use a dedicated plastic clip for the operation. If the new fuse blows immediately, it might indicate a circuit short—check if there's a coin stuck in the cigarette lighter socket or if the wiring insulation is damaged causing a ground fault.
