How do you remove the cigarette lighter fuse in a Lexus LS430?

Answer 1

This one is a little bit of a curve ball. Normally the fuse box is located under the steering column on the left hand side. However, in this case the fuse box is located under the dash panel directly adjacent to the "open hood" lever on the left hand side. Their is a rectangular plastic panel that hides it. The plastic panel has a clip on the far side in the center that looks like a beed or a small ball. If you pull on the ball of the clip directly outward from its position (towards the gas pedal) the plastic panel will come off exposing the fuses for the interior. their is always a diagram on the back of the plastic panel to indicate the individual fuses and show their location. If your plastic piece is missing than I can tell you that the fuse for the cigarette lighter is one of the two lowest in the center column of fuses. Their are two 15amp mini fuses, one is for the cigarette lighter and the other is for the power outlet under the center armrest.
