How to Replace the Cigarette Lighter Fuse in the BMW 1 Series

Model: BMW Serie 1 MK 2, F20, F21 - Years 2011-2019
Part: Cigarette lighter

In this model, the fuse box is located in an unusual place compared to others; it is actually in the boot. Open the boot and lift the carpet/panel at the bottom. You will immediately notice the fuse box, which has a legend describing the fuse related to the cigarette lighter and its location. Next, lift the panel under the bonnet to find the box with the relevant fuse. Remove the faulty fuse and insert the new one. Close all the fuse boxes, and you're done!
