Cigarette Lighter / 12v Socket does not work????

[RickT]

Hi,

Just had a quick look at the fues box..

I have 2 fuses for the 12v sockets.. (ie.. Front and boot on mine.)

If i remove the fuse for the rear socket, (to confirm i have the right fuse) it stops working as expected.

I have not swaped the fuse which is the boot to the front as these are differnt amp..

I "think" the boot was 25amp and the front was 20amp. (I will check and report back on that)

What is the correct fuse for these??

(kenney, cheers for the documention)

Cheers

Rick

Fuse 24 is 25 amp and fuse 26 is 20 amp

In the end up it was a fuse issue, even though it looked like it had not blown, it had.

which fuse socket was at fault?

you refer to 24 and 26 in the thread, but according to this fuse box diagram, they're different (fuse box picture on page 8, the box on the drivers side by the door)

Hi Kenney
Can you please send me the guide on how to remove the cigarette lighter for the Audi A3 - it is a 2008 version by the way.

Thanks

Hi The cigarette lighter front,rear,and the12 V socket, in the luggage compartment,run from the same fuse.Fuse 24 up to Oct 2005 and fuse 28 from Nov 2005.The light in the lighter runs from another source.You need to check if you have 12v in the lighter and you do not have to remove it to do so.If you have to replace the lighter i can send you the details on how to do it
