The reason why the lighter is not working

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Cigarette lighter

The cigarette lighter is an accessory designed to light cigarettes, but in most cases, its socket is used for something else: to charge the phone, to operate the satellite navigator or other devices. It often happens that suddenly it stops working. The reason is simple: this component is designed to work for a few seconds, just enough to heat the resistor and light the cigarette. Instead, we use it for hours, either charging our smartphone or using it to operate the navigator, if not installed in the car. This inevitably leads to burning the fuse, which is usually 20/30 amperes. Therefore, it is necessary to always have a spare one and know where it is located in order to easily replace it.
