Where is the Cigarette Lighter Fuse in an Audi A3?

Model: Audi A3 8V, MK 3 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Cigarette lighter

In this video, you will see where the cigarette lighter fuse is located in an Audi A3, the first element to check if it suddenly stops working. As shown, the fuse is located in the box inside the cabin, on the lower side of the dashboard on the driver's side, and it is the second one in the right row. If it is damaged, ensure you use a replacement with the same amperage, 20A, and always work with the vehicle turned off; otherwise, you may damage all connected devices or yourself.
