How to replace the fuse of the cigarette lighter socket of the BMW 1 Series

Model: BMW Serie 1 E81, E82, MK 1, E87 - Years 2004-2013
Part: Fuse box

When the cigarette lighter socket of the BMW 1 Series stops working, the most common cause of the failure is a blown fuse. To replace the fuse on your own, you need to remove the glove compartment on the driver's side and then extract the green 20 Amp fuse labeled RADIO using a pair of pliers. Once the fuse is removed, you can insert a new one and proceed to close the compartment. If the problem persists, the cause may be a malfunctioning internal connector or a decoding issue with the messages from the control unit, requiring a computerized diagnosis.
