In this video, see how to replace the cigarette lighter fuse on a BMW 3 Series F30. The fuse box is located in the engine compartment, in front of the passenger: you need to remove the grille at the base of the windshield by unscrewing the three plastic screws at the bottom; this way, the grille comes off easily, and you can access the fuse box, which has a small plastic cover.

This is also held in place by four small clips, which open by holding two at a time.

Once opened, refer to the fuse diagram you previously viewed online. Starting from the right, it works backward, starting from 70. The one you need is 66, and pulling it out, you will see that it is indeed blown.

Replace it with another of the same amperage.
