Replacing the cigarette lighter fuse in a Volkswagen Golf 5 is a very simple operation. First, disconnect the car battery to protect yourself from potential electric shocks.

Next, use a plastic spudger, similar to a spatula, to remove the plastic cover located in the glove compartment on the right side of the dashboard. Remove the cap and use pliers to disconnect the damaged fuses in the compartment.

After this, insert the new fuses and close the fuse inspection box with the cover. Finally, test the proper functioning of the cigarette lighter.
