2008 chevy equinox cigarette lighter fuse 2007 Fuse, Power Outlet Location 2007 Chevy Equinox Cigarette Lighter

#1 Edit: I've updated all the information here to a much more comprehensive thread covering both the internal and external fuse panels

If the metal strip inside the fuse is broken, then the fuse is blown and needs to be replaced

To determine which side of the fuse socket is live, remove the fuse and then use your voltmeter probe to test each side for 12 VDC

The fuse for the cigarette lighter is located in the fuse box, which can typically be found either under the dashboard near the drivers side or in the engine bay

Thanks again, GTYankee
