Where is the MG ZS fuse box located?
2 Answers
The cigarette lighter fuse of the MG ZS is located on the lower left side of the steering column. The power voltage of the cigarette lighter is 12 volts, consistent with the vehicle's battery voltage. Typically, the cigarette lighter has a dedicated power line connected to it, separate from other circuits, hence it has its own dedicated fuse. Common misconceptions about using the cigarette lighter are as follows: 1. Not unplugging before turning off the engine: Leaving external devices plugged into the cigarette lighter when the engine is turned off can cause issues. During vehicle startup, external devices on the cigarette lighter are susceptible to damage from the high current surge, especially MP3 players and USB drives. Therefore, it's advisable to unplug them before starting the car and plug them back in after the engine is running. 2. Keeping external devices plugged into the cigarette lighter for extended periods: Depending on the vehicle's settings, some cigarette lighter sockets may remain powered even when the vehicle is turned off. Thus, leaving external devices plugged in for long periods is not a wise choice. It's best to plug in devices only when in use and unplug them afterward, avoiding prolonged connection to the cigarette lighter socket to enhance the safety of external devices.
Anyone who has driven the MG ZS knows there are two fuse box locations. The one in the engine bay sits right next to the battery—just pop the hood and you'll spot a black plastic box labeled "FUSE" in English. The interior one hides below the steering wheel's lower left corner; crouch down and you'll see a small cover panel that pops open with a gentle pry. Last time my cigarette lighter lost power, it turned out the cabin fuse had blown. Lifting the lid revealed a clear diagram printed right on the backside. While checking the manual is foolproof, a smartphone flashlight works fine to read the layout. Remember to disconnect power before fiddling—newbies should keep a dedicated fuse puller handy, unlike me sparking up with needle-nose pliers.
