How to tell if a fuse is blown for the lighter on a 90's subaru impreza

Pull them all and look at them. This does two things. First it tells you that the fuse is bad. ( a break in the wire) second it gets rid of any corrosion problems. Corrosion is at least 25% of all fuse problems. I used to use a test light to check fuses. I haven't used it in years.

Fuse kept blown means your wires are shorted to ground somewhere in the remote control module or your map light. Since when you press the remote the map light also turns on, I'd try something simple first. Remove the map light BULB from the circuit to check if that circuit is the issue to isolate the problem.

ok you are probably correct to think that you overloaded the plug and burned it out. I have seen decent replacement plugs at auto parts stores for about $10-15. Its a bit of a chore to remove some of the dash trim in that area but it can be done with some patients

use your car manual and locate the fuse box then use the diagram on the fuse box to show you which fuse is for the lighter and remove it and fit a new one and you should be good to go

impreza 98 ej20 turbo automatic / losing power /when u mash d x car moves off slow then u feel like it want to go.// runs very good on first start // when car warms up problem starts // may drive ok sometimes during d day .. all sensors are ok could it b a wiring problen? PLEASE HELP ME

You just have to use the process of illimination on this one. Just start pulling fuses one at a time and looking for burnt marks seperating or breaking the wire inside. If the fuse looks good replace it to the same place it came out of. Go to next fuse and do the same thing. Now when you come to the burnt/bad one, besure you replace it with one that has the same amps. No shortcuts. You could start a wire melt down if you go to high with the amperage. Also keep checking the rest of the fuses because sometimes when one goes another one will go too. Let me know how it works out. The Raz

I would first check the fuse. They are usually on the same circuit, so I would say fuse. Otherwise a shorted wire is possible. you can pry out the lighter and check that the wire is on the lighter socket.

You could have a blown fuse, bad relay, bad blower motor resistor pack, or just a bad blower motor. Start with checking your fuse to make sure you have power to you blower motor.

Some of the fuses are under the hood, check your owner's manual. Mine is located on the right side near the front of the engine compartment.Mine also has extra fuses in the engine fuse compartment.
