In this video, you can see where the fuse for the cigarette lighter is located in the BMW X3 F25, which is the first component to check in case of sudden malfunction. As shown, the fuse is located in the fuse box inside the cabin, behind the glove compartment on the passenger side, which must be removed by unscrewing the lower screws.

It is a 20A fuse and is the second to last in the left column. In case of failure, make sure to replace it with a spare of the same specifications and always work with the vehicle turned off to avoid any damage.
