When the cigarette lighter on a Volkswagen Tiguan stops working, it means you need to replace the corresponding fuse. To replace the fuse, open the fuse box located inside the cabin, specifically behind the driver’s side glove compartment.

Once the glove compartment is removed, open the box and remove fuse number 31, which is 20 Amperes. After inserting the new fuse, test the cigarette lighter.

If it continues not to work, check the condition of the internal wires by removing the socket from the underside of the dashboard.
