Replacing the Cigarette Lighter Fuse

Model: Volkswagen Polo MK IV, Polo IV, Polo 4, MK 4, 9N - Years 2001-2009
Part: Center console tunnel

If the cigarette lighter in the central console does not work and therefore cannot be used for the car charger, which is very useful for charging a mobile phone or satellite navigator, it is likely that the corresponding fuse has blown. The fuse box is located on the side of the dashboard: open the driver's side door and remove the side panel of the dashboard; you will then access the fuse box, and inside the panel you just removed, there is a legend indicating the position of the fuse in question and the corresponding tweezers for extraction. Once the fuse is removed, it is easy to see if it is blown and replace it with one of the same amperage (not larger).
