Where is the RX5 cigarette lighter fuse located?
2 Answers
RX5 cigarette lighter fuse is located under the left dashboard cover. The car fuse is a type of current fuse. When the circuit current exceeds twice the rated current of the fuse, it will blow within a few seconds to protect the circuit. Before checking the fuse box, you need to turn off the ignition switch and all electrical equipment. Use fuse removal pliers to clamp the fuse head, pull and remove the fuse, and check if the fuse is blown. If it is blown, replace the blown fuse with another fuse of the same ampere rating. Be sure to replace it with a fuse of the same specification. If a fuse with a lower current rating is used, it will blow quickly again. If a fuse with a higher current rating is used, the fuse will not blow easily in case of a short circuit, which can easily cause a fire.
Locating the cigarette lighter fuse on the Roewe RX5 is actually quite simple. As someone who frequently helps friends with car repairs, I can tell you that this model's fuse box is typically hidden in the driver's footwell area. First, crouch down and look beneath the dashboard - you'll find a small plastic cover panel that pops open with some firm pressure. Inside, the fuses are neatly arranged, with the cigarette lighter position usually labeled as 'cig lighter' or marked with a lighter icon on the diagram, likely in slot F23. If there's no power, always turn off the vehicle first before using fuse tweezers to gently remove and inspect for breaks; common causes of blown fuses include using phone chargers or overloading car accessories. Remember to replace with a 15A fuse - using the wrong amperage may cause faster burnout. Consulting the owner's manual before starting ensures you won't disrupt other circuits.
