Default Ford Fiesta Fusebox

Hi All.


It's a 2010 WS Zetec (4-speed Auto 5-door hatch), so something's got to be good.


I'm trying to figure out why the "Cigar" lighter in this car does NOT work. First, it had no lighter plug, so I got a new one - nothing. I tried one from another car - still NOTHING. But BOTH of them work in that other car.


I checked the fuse box, as the manual says it's fuse #22 and it takes a 20A fuse. I can see two 20A fuses in the box - and what a place to put it - but where does the numbering start from??? I suspected from the lower LH corner in the picture posted below, but then the next two fuses "don't look right". Can somebody please explain.


Ta.

Hi. To start with you need to check the lighter socket with a test light. When ford stopped putting ash trays in their car the "lighter" socket changed to a "power outlet". You will find that it will have a brass pin in the centre of the socket but no claw to engage with the edge of the lighter insert. It should work with most phone chargers and nav systems but if you plug in something like a car vac cleaner or compressor it may blow the fusible kink on the back of the socket before it pops the fuse in the fuse box. Cheers MD

Ta, guys.
I will check the picture with mine (a bit small without enlarging it). Since posting the first post, I found a blown 20A fuse, so I suspect that's the one for the lighter/power socket. Tomorrow I'm getting some assorted spare fuses.


Thanks.
