Need to replace the fuses for the cigarette lighter on a BMW X3? Open the cover and check the instrument panel for the cigarette lighter issue. Use a plastic trim tool to remove the cover in the glove compartment (right side of the dashboard), then use needle-nose pliers to disconnect the damaged fuses located in the compartment.

After this, insert the new fuses into the designated slots in the compartment. Finally, close the fuse inspection box with the cover.

Test the proper functioning of the cigarette lighter by turning on the instrument panel with the appropriate key.
