Replacement of the fuse in the Mercedes M-Class W163

Model: Mercedes Classe M W163 - Years 1997-2005
Part: Cigarette lighter

In this video we see some functions of the cigarette lighter socket, which in the Mercedes M-Class is less and less used to light cigarettes and more and more often as a power source for electronic devices: this increases the chances that an extra voltage will cause the fuse mounted for its protection to intervene. If this were to happen, position yourself in the front passenger seat, open the door, at the bottom, on the plastic frame locate two plastic screws, turn them with the help of a coin and open the fuse box cover. In the top row, the first one from the right, yellow in color and 20A, is the one for the cigarette lighter socket, remove it and replace it with a new one and close the cover.
