After spending over an hour trying to find that fuse it literally took me less than two minutes to sort my problem out after watching this man. I had no idea there was a fuse buss in the trunk. THANK YOU for posing this!!!! If I could hug you I would, and I don't hug dudes. LMAO!! Again, thank you!!
Thank you so so much for this! You are absolute lifesaver! Just beware, the fuse I pulled from the front of the car led to my air conditioning so that stopped working. I switched them back and it was fine so I’m headed to the store tomorrow to get a fuse pack. I never even knew fixing my cigarette lighters was so easy and this was super helpful!!!
...guess I was more prophetic than "embellishing". The fuse you/I pulled out of the middle fuse box IS the A/C fuse. I did exactly what you did in the video, and a day later (since I didn't use the car the entire day, following) I went into a panic because the A/C "stopped working". Replacing the fuse brought my A/C back from "the dead". (Good thing, since it's starting to get hot here in Phoenix!) Just wanted to advise folks for future reference, but many thanks again for your help! :-)
Couldn't figure out why my cigarette lighter where not working until in saw this video. Haven't been able to use the cigarette lighter for 2years, and known thanks to you I'm good now
Great video. I just would caution people about the other fuse you pulled out being that it is the A/c fuse. It would be better to run to your local store real quick and grab one; its only like $3 and some change for a whole pack! Other than that, good job!
Seriously, thank you so much for posting this! I don't know the first thing about cars, and I was able to follow this video and easily replace the fuse for my 2005 Chevy Malibu! You're a life savor, thank you!
+Angela Mayhew Mine's a 2005, too, and the cig fuse, like owenhemsath has shown us, is in the trunk,too, and mine was yellow, too, and mine was blown out, too, and now, after a visit to Advanced Auto, I can power up my new Radar Detector. (Legal in the state of Connecticut)
I just used this to yank the fuse for my trunk, which wouldn't stop chiming no matter how many times I closed it (and that car has an AWFUL chime). THANK YOU this video rescued me from audio torture
thanks bro. I wasted an hour looking for the fuse for the cigarette lighter until i went to you tube and watched your video, didn't know about the third fuse box in the car trunk because i don't have the car's manual book. It took 5 minutes replaced the fuse after i saw your video. Gracias.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.. 5 GUYS WERE LOOKIN EVERYWERE FOR THE FUSE BOX IN THE TRUNK AND I WENT ON U TUBE AND FOLLOWED YOUR INSTRUCTION AND IT WORKED..
Yo I just turned 18 and my parents got me a new car but the cigarettes thingy wasn’t working but I thought it was something I did,so I was too scared to tell my dad but I watched this video and it helped me fix my problem, thank you so much!
What about the 20 fuse in the passenger fuse box location ?..do we replace that one too?..the video only shows the back fuse box location being replaced .
Very helpful video. I would have never thought the fuse for the cigarette lighter was in the trunk. I assumed it would be on the inside fuse box but i never saw a label for it so I was confused lol thanks a lot
I’m trying to replace the same fuse and when I pulled it out it had tension on it and when I try putting the new one in it’s just barely fitting loosely in there !? Same fuse and everything . Do you HAVE to use the fuse puller to put it back in ??
A higher amperage fuse won't protect whatever it is supposed to be protecting. A lower amperage fuse will blow unnecessarily. Still, this is a very informative video. Thank you!
Followed your steps to a T, minus dropping the fuse *wink* (trust me...had I done that, it'd be GONE. LOL!), and issue resolved. Thanks for the help/video, first...directed me as needed! My concern is: what did "we" pull this fuse from, center vehicle, to replace in the back? Was it just an extra fuse, not in use? Or will I never see my AC control backlights again until replaced? (I'm embellishing, but would like clarification, etc.) Thanks again for the help; the video was PERFECT! :-)
So, you pulled a fuse from the front seat fuse box... was that the blown one or was that a spare that you used to replace the one in the back? Or did you later replace the one in the front too?
ok, so I know this video was posted a long time ago. and idk if anyone will answer this question. But I had recently bought a 2005 malibu. and the reader port for a code reader wont work. I've tried to replace the fuse but the new fuse didn't work. im pretty sure the fuse for that is the cigarette lighter. but I also look at the old fuse and it isn't blown in the center. But the prongs look scorched. any ideas guys? please?
I guess I would have to be the odd ball. My husband and I did just what you showed and my cigarette lighter still does not work. I really don't know what to do it just stopped working can you replace the cigarette lighter and if you can how do you do it with out taking it to the dealer and get robbed.
My plug in USB adapter will light but won't charge on my Malibu Maxx but is not charging on either the front dashboard nor the center console, neither will the inverter I got. Yet the both work and my phone charges when I use the auxiliary port in the trunk (hatchback). The only way I know for sure is if that port works on a separate fuse. Any help from anyone knowledgeable on that?
I bet when you went to try it it didn't work you showed us you putting the fuse back in the trunk . Yet you failed to replace the fuse in the car which was the first one you pulled. ?????
COULD YOU MAKE THAT ANY MORE SHAKEY! I DIDNT GET 'SEA SICK' ENOUGH! Why would you need a fuse puller? Getting boxes open seems to be the hardest part. I am confused as to where it is still with all the jumping around and moving all over the place.
Holly Dee That's not why you're confused, you're just an idiot and that's why you're confused. Sorry the dude isn't Speilberg and he's simply recording a helpful vid with a handheld cam/phone. Other than slight shakeyness, everything he instructed in the video is pretty crystal clear.

Don't worry we knew what you meant.

Did the fuse you pulled belong to something else or was it a spare
I replaced a fuse for a family member. Glad you shared this video. Made things easier.
You saved me so much trouble. No one told me I needed a fuse puller. 👍🏽👍🏽
Because you don’t
- What is the Max Amps & Wattage you can run on that Front Power Outlet-Cigarette Lighter Port (eg 10A/120w , 15A/180w ) ?
What about the 20 fuse in the passenger fuse box location ?..do we replace that one too?..the video only shows the back fuse box location being replaced .

If the socket sparked when you put in or pulled out something from it, would it still be the fuse or something else? Thanks.
You keep your glove compartment in your manual...whoa lol
Akisha Dickerson hahaha
A higher amperage fuse won't protect whatever it is supposed to be protecting. A lower amperage fuse will blow unnecessarily. Still, this is a very informative video. Thank you!
It works
Would it be the same for replacing the outlet on a 2004 malibu?
I like the video but would you care to explain your parking situation?
At least somebody mentioned that!

So, you pulled a fuse from the front seat fuse box... was that the blown one or was that a spare that you used to replace the one in the back? Or did you later replace the one in the front too?
You're the man. Thanks for putting this up. LIke others who posted, my lighter hasn't worked for 2 years. Simple and easy to fix. Thanks!

I think this video was more then just clear and clarifying . What are you watching it on? Dialup?
