Video tutorial

In this video we can see how to repair the cigarette lighter socket, which is very important because it is also a power outlet, of BMW E90/E91/E92 series cars. From the video we can see that the socket is not working, so the first thing to do is to check the fuse located in the box in the glove compartment, behind the glove compartment drawer in front of the passenger.

The fuse we are interested in is number F30. We check its functionality with a tester lamp; to tell the truth, the youtuber takes the opportunity to check most of them. We then replace the fuse and now we see that the power outlet works.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat.
