Cigarette lighter fuse

Hi,

When you removed the fuse, did you inspect it to see if it was burnt? If it wasn't burnt, then you replaced the wrong fuse.

If the was indeed burnt, then you probably have another burnt fuse somewhere. Look under the dashboard/console and against the side wall or floorboard for another fuse box.

Hope this helps.

hi,

there must have been a weak connection somewhere in the line.
use a volt meter to trace from the lighter to the fuse box.
I have also seen the wire connection go bad during a short in the back of the fuse box itself where the wire goes in.
follow the 12 volts and you will find your problem.

cigarette lighter fuses are normally either located with all of the other fuses or up underneath the dash

Fuse 12

Hello: Open hood, on driver side there is a fuse box, remove the cover and check the fuse, if fuse is open, replace it. If you used a device in the lighter receptacle that may have caused the fuse to open.

The pencil points to the specific cigarette lighter fuse (20 amp) located in the interior of 1996 Saturn on passenger side "kick panel."

Below is an image showing that it's fuse #6 and it's a 30 amp fuse. This fuse also powers the chime, fuel system, dome lamps, clock/radio, decklid release. If any of these components are still working, then a fuse isn't the problem with the cigarette lighter. Best of luck.

If you have the owners manual it will tell you what number is the cigarette lighter fuse

It sounds like you have a bad charging cable for the GPS or the cable is overloading the cigarette lighter.

The cigarette lighter is designed for less power then a 12v power outlet.

Therefore it is easy to blow the fuse for the cigarette light if you install something that draws too much power.

number 32 is the front cigarette lighter fuse 2 and 27 for the audio unit which i presume means radio
these are in the fuse panel under the dash on the drivers side
