The fuse for the cigarette lighter in the Mercedes-Benz R350 is located under the side panel in the vehicle's trunk. Specific steps to locate it: Open the trunk, then remove the panel to find the fuse box. The position of the cigarette lighter fuse is indicated on the box cover. General location of car cigarette lighter fuses: The fuse for a car cigarette lighter is typically found on the lower left side of the steering column (may vary by vehicle model). Actual structural damage to the cigarette lighter itself is rare - most failures are caused by blown fuses. When encountering such issues, you can usually resolve them yourself without needing to spend money at a repair shop or service station.
The fuse for the front cigarette lighter in my old Mercedes-Benz R350 is usually hidden in the fuse box near the driver's seat. To be more specific, it's behind a small cover on the left side of the driver's seat. You'll need to open the driver's door, crouch down, and look for a small plastic cover near the dashboard. Lift it open, and you'll see a row of fuse slots. The diagram is typically printed on the back of the cover, where the front cigarette lighter is labeled as "Cigarette Lighter" or "Socket 12V," possibly numbered F30 or in a similar position. However, Mercedes-Benz fuse box designs can vary, so if you're unfamiliar, I recommend checking the owner's manual first—it contains detailed diagrams. If the fuse is blown, simply replace it with a spare one, usually rated at 15 to 20 amps. Avoid tampering with it carelessly to prevent circuit damage. To reduce the risk of blowing the fuse, try not to plug high-power devices into the cigarette lighter too often. Following these steps ensures a hassle-free and safe check-up.
