Where is the Cigarette Lighter Fuse in a Volkswagen Transporter Van?

Model: Volkswagen Transporter T5, MK 5 - Years 2003-2014
Part: Cigarette lighter

If the cigarette lighter in your Volkswagen Transporter van suddenly stops working, first check the status of the related fuse, the location of which is indicated in this video. As shown, it is not located in any of the main fuse boxes but is instead positioned under the driver's seat. You can access it from the front side of the seat. If the fuse is damaged, ensure you replace it with a spare of the same amperage, 15A, otherwise you may cause damage to both the socket and the various connected devices.
