Can anybody help.
My phone charger recently fell apart in my cig lighter and blew the fuse.
Fair enough I thought just dig out the hand book and see where the fuse box is.
The book says there are 3 fuse boxes.
1. Under the bonnet
2. Behind the panel on the dash
3. In the boot

So I go for the one behind the panel on the dash by the menu button and light beam adjuster switches. I manage to snap the blinkin prongs that hold the panel (£5.76 from Fiat) and all I can see is a plug which looks like its for updating the ECU.
Anyone needed to change a fuse? and can someone tell me if there is a correct way to remove that panel without snapping the prongs as I gave the new one a gentle tug just to see and it feels like I will do it again! Cheers

its in the engine bay fuse box,its the flourescent yellow 20 amp one,the only flourescent yellow one.

Nice one much appreciated! ill leave the cover alone from now on then lol!

The cover you broke was DLC cover,fusebox is behind glovebox.

Lighter fuse however (as johnlummis stated) is in engine bay(No 54)

OMG!!! i was going to post the same thread two minutes ago as my mate was playing around and put a key in my lighter (t**t) and blew the fuse!!

Hee Hee! thats what makes this forum so great. Thanks for all the info guys. With a sporting model that ciggie lighter is pretty important as the compresser isnt gonna be much use without it lol!

Lighter Question

Compressor? My sporting still isn't due for a few weeks but am I right in guessing your saying that the fix and go kit comes with a air compressor to pump up the tyre?

Re: Fuse for cigar lighter?

In the handbook the fuse is listed as " Power for passenger's compartment current outlet"fuse F54 20amp found in the engine compartment.
Page 183 in the handbook.

help i got a fiat grande punto and my cig lighter as gone ilooked in my hand book and it said f54 and under the bonnet there was a 7.5 amp in there but on thepic in the hand book there are set up different do i take the one thats the same place in the book help

Are you sure you're not looking at F43 nextdoor to it,(it's a 7.5A).

Ciggy lighter should definitely be a 20A fuse.

As for precautions asked about earlier I'd disconnect the battery negative first.

Just have to update the clock later
