Ozimandius Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Hi All, While inflating the tyres of my MKX 2009, I blew the fuse of the cigarette lighter plug in the dashboard (photo below). Where is the fuse located exactly and what's the replacement model/specs? The digital tyre compressor is working fine in the other outlets. Cheers.

WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) Is that really a cigarette lighter outlet, or a power point? Don't know what they spec it for the in the Middle East, I think omar302 will know for sure though. In the U.S., I believe it is Fuse 17, 64, 65, and 66 (all 20 A) - Cigar Lighter/Power Point in the underhood fusebox. http://www.fordservicecontent.com/Ford_Content/catalog/owner_guides/09mkxog1e.pdf Page 233 Edited January 24, 2015 by WWWPerfA_ZN0W 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar302 Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Middle East modifications wouldn't change such things. But here any power outlet in a car that looks like the cigarette lighter plug is named so. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozimandius Posted January 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Thanks guys. Yes, it's definitely a cigarette plug since the actual lighter is always in my glovebox (don't smoke, no one in my car is allowed to either). Thanks for the link too. I'll do a DIY if I can find that fuse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozimandius Posted February 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 Guys, I found these in the Carrefour here (I'm there right now but can't figure out which model to buy since they're two different sizes) Suggestions? http://rs578.pbsrc.com/albums/ss223/Ozzylogic/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20150205_125135_zps91c54261.jpg~320x480?t=1423040288 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 Per the OM, you need a cartridge fuse (Look more like a printer cartridge). So neither of what you have in the pic you posted. I think you need to look for something like this: http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1056862-ford-maxi-fuses-vs-cartridge-fuses.html#post10193351 The blue 20A 12V fuse would be what you need. Remember, the battery needs to be disconnected while you pull/replace these underhood fuses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozimandius Posted February 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 Thanks, I'll look for these. I already bought the two I showed in the photo since they cost 1 USD each so I'll use them in my other cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
