How to replace the cigarette lighter fuse on a 2011 Renault Mégane 3?

Question

Accepted Answer

To replace the cigarette lighter fuse on your 2011 Renault Mégane 3, you first need to locate the fuse box, which is located in the engine compartment. Carefully open the cover by releasing it, then refer to the diagram attached inside to identify the position of the fuse. In this notice, the cigarette lighter fuse is number 19 in the fuse allocation.

Use the fuse pliers located at the back of the fuse box cover to remove the faulty fuse. Check its condition: a blown fuse will have a broken or blackened filament inside. To remove the fuse from the pliers, simply slide it to the side.

Obtain a replacement fuse from an authorized Renault dealer, ensuring that it has exactly the same rating as the old one. Never use a fuse with a higher rating, as this could risk overheating the electrical circuit and pose a fire hazard. Insert the new fuse into the designated slot.

Once the fuse is replaced, properly close the fuse box cover by snapping it back in place. Test the cigarette lighter by turning on the ignition: press it, it should pop out with a click when ready, then pop out again with a click when heated.

Important: The notice specifies that some fuses located in the engine compartment may be difficult to access. Although replacement is possible, it is recommended to have this intervention performed by an authorized Renault dealer to avoid any electrical issues.
