Which one is the Cig lighter fuse?

only reason I am asking is because this does not match the manual. So, which one is the cigarette lighter under the glove box? The 20A that is power socket

The 20A that is power socket or the 15A that says cigar lighter?

I need one that is a ignition source. That's why I wanted to try and get into the cigarette lighter fuse.

Based off the photo above, something is incorrect.

I just want to put it out there that the fact that Nissan calls it a cigar lighter instead of a cigarette lighter gains it +10 classy points. Just sayin'....

I don't even care if they just did it because it's a shorter word... lol

So far, I have tried the Cigar Lighter 15A fuse and that worked perfectly fine for a ignition source. Both the DEFI and boost controller turned on with no problems.

you're welcome.

"ignition source" sounds more like flame or explosive related source.
