Where is the cigarette lighter fuse of the Focus?
3 Answers
The cigarette lighter fuse of the Focus is located in the fuse box in the engine compartment, specifically the 28th 20A double-layer mini fuse and the 32nd 20A double-layer mini fuse. Before replacing the fuse, please turn off the ignition switch and all electrical equipment, and use a fuse with the specified rated amperage for replacement. The Focus is a compact car under the Ford brand, with dimensions of 4587mm in length, 1825mm in width, and 1490mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2687mm. In terms of appearance, the front of the Focus adopts Ford's iconic vertical inverted trapezoidal large grille design, which sets the tone for the overall design of the vehicle. The striking headlight design also enhances the width of the body, making the proportions of the entire vehicle appear more harmonious.
I've been driving my Ford car, the Escort, for almost ten years. The cigarette lighter fuse is usually located on the left side under the dashboard, where there's a fuse box just above the driver's footwell. Remember to open the small cover, which has a diagram inside. The cigarette lighter fuse is typically labeled as F15 or a similar number. If it blows, the cigarette lighter won't work. Common causes might be overloading the lighter with too many electrical devices or a short circuit. When trying to replace it yourself, use a small pair of pliers to gently pull out the blown fuse and install a new one with the same amperage. But don't just randomly connect wires—if you make a mistake, you might damage the entire system. It's better to check the owner's manual for the exact location; the manual has detailed steps that can save you a lot of trouble. Also, don't use the cigarette lighter as a power outlet indiscriminately to extend its lifespan.
I enjoy tinkering with my car myself. The fuse for the Ford Escort's cigarette lighter is located in the fuse box on the driver's side of the dashboard, specifically under the small cover near the left foot area, usually labeled as CIG or with a cigarette lighter symbol. Last time mine went bad, I replaced it with a new 10A fuse, and it was an easy fix—just turn off the engine, use a small tool to open the cover, and find the numbered fuse. But be careful not to use a fuse with the wrong amperage to avoid burning it out again. Cigarette lighter failures are often caused by short circuits due to worn-out phone charger plugs or poor contact from dust buildup. It's best to regularly clean the socket and avoid overloading it—like in my car, I only use one charger. Preventive checks can make the cigarette lighter more durable, which is handy for charging navigation devices during long trips.
