Which one is the Cig lighter fuse?

Cell · 08-28-2013, 06:38 PM

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 or the 15A that says cigar lighter?

blue 15A on your right side 6th from the bottom (not counting the empty)

if not try the 20A power socket.

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.

If anything the 20A fuse should be the source of power for the two cigarette outlets. At least that is what I believe.

you mean a switched 12v? then either one should work. test using a volt meter while the car is off, and while the car is in acc.

^ ^ ^ What kenchan said.

Get one of those "add a circuit" wires from Bussmann and plug it into the fuse in question. The meter (or 12V light) will show you the on/off status as the ignition is cycled between off and acc.

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.

and that's called switched power.

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