How to remove and change the cigarette lighter
Before you start, you should purchase the right tool. To remove the Chevrolet Cruze cigarette lighter you will need:
- screwdriver for removing self-tapping screws;
- gloves;
- tester to check the correct connection;
- additional wires of suitable cross-section (when replacing cables);
- soldering iron with solder for fixing problem areas;
- insulating tape;
- new fuse;
- spare cigarette lighter.
The device will be removed as follows.
- Turn off the ignition, open the hood, remove the negative terminal from the battery. This will de-energize the circuit, thereby eliminating the possibility of a short circuit.
- We dismantle the armrest. This is one piece with a central tunnel.
- Disconnect the wiring harness going to the device.
- Using a screwdriver, unscrew the car cigarette lighter mounting bolts.
- We bend the clamps and squeeze the part out of the seat.
- Remove the backlight ring.
After removal, you can carry out repairs or change faulty parts, for example, a fuse. Installing the cigarette lighter is done in the reverse order.
Fuse box in the cabin
The block is located in the panel on the left side directly at the driver's left knee.
To gain access, open the small items storage compartment and pull it up. Then you should remove the bottom of the drawer from the panel stops and pull it out.

Causes of breakdowns
There are a number of factors that affect the performance of a part on a Chevrolet Cruze. The most common types of breakdowns.
- Faulty fuse. Each section of the automotive circuit is designed for a certain current strength. The maximum fuse rating is 20 amps. When connecting too powerful devices or due to a short circuit, this parameter may exceed the acceptable limits. To protect the wiring from damage, the fuse blows. It is necessary to change the element to restore the operation of the device.
- Short circuit. A constantly blown fuse hints that the system is shorting. To find the short one you will need a tester. It is necessary to ring all the cords going to the Chevrolet Cruze cigarette lighter, check the battery voltage with the ignition off and on. If the change is more than 0.5 volts, then the system is faulty and the fuse will need to be replaced.
- Broken wires. Due to great age, the cables may fray or solder joints may fall off, which will affect the operation of the fuse. Initially, it is worth inspecting the cords. There should be no creases or breaks on them. Damaged insulation is also excluded, otherwise the fuse will burn out. Fallen cables should be soldered with a soldering iron and tin. Damaged wiring should be insulated, and broken cables should be replaced with intact ones of suitable cross-section. For this current strength, a cord with a diameter of 1.5 - 2 square meters is suitable. mm.
- Overheating of nichrome thread. The spiral located inside the cigarette lighter can burn out due to frequent heating, which opens the circuit and trips the fuse. Restoring the cigarette lighter does not make sense - it is better to remove the old Chevrolet Cruze device and replace it with a working one.
- Light bulb failure. The device has an additional light filter so that you can find the cigarette lighter connector at night. The backlight lamp may also burn out and the fuse will trip. You will need to disassemble the cigarette lighter and replace the light bulb with a working element.
- Loose connector. The constant connection of electronic devices unlocks the locking tabs inside the chuck. This is bad for the contact and can lead to a short circuit and blown fuse. If the car cigarette lighter does not function correctly, you need to bend the clamps using a thin screwdriver, after removing the fuse or disconnecting the negative terminal.
- Presence of plaque. Due to moisture and age, oxides or rust may appear on the contacts of the device, which leads to poor conductivity of the device. This problem is easily repaired - you need to clean the contact areas using a file or sandpaper, reaching the metal base and ensuring reliable contact.
Cigarette lighter does not work on Chevrolet Cruze
Previously, this device was used exclusively for its intended purpose - to light cigarettes. Today this is a mandatory attribute of any car and is actively used even by non-smoking drivers. The cigarette lighter connector is a 12-volt outlet where additional electrical appliances are connected.
Owners plug chargers for mobile phones, fans, car vacuum cleaners, navigators or video recorders into the socket. A malfunctioning connector brings a lot of inconvenience to everyday life and causes the fuse to break. Therefore, you need to know how to remove the cigarette lighter and carry out repairs on your Chevrolet Cruze yourself.
