The fuse for the cigarette lighter socket on a Volkswagen 5 vehicle is located inside the fuse box behind the passenger side glove compartment. Since it is a connection socket, the fuse is divided into two parts: the first part with the number 20 and the second part with the number 42, both with an amperage of 15 amps.

When the cigarette lighter socket is not working, the malfunctioning fuse is the first cause to be investigated for problem resolution. Therefore, we remove the glove compartment to open the fuse box and replace the affected fuse.
