So, theres 2 cig lighters in the tC. 1 on the outside and one on the inside of the middle compartment. The one on the inside doesn't work for me and I just bought a fuse to replace it. But when I look at the fuse panel, I only see 1 of the fuses that says CIG on it...is that not the right now? I'm thinking that if there is only 1 fuse that works for both cig lighters, then both of my cig lighters shouldn't be working, but one of them does...how do I find out if the cig lighter in the middle compartment is labeled differently?

 

i think the one on the inside of the console is an "acc" fuse not cig

 

crap...what does acc stand for? I might have to buy a different fuse... =[

 

accesory

 

alright, thanks. that one is rated 7.5 instead of 15...i guess I gotta go back to kragen..............

 

Don't forget that there are also fuses inside the car.. Near the hood latch release.

 

wha???? wheres that at? you mean replacement fuses?

I just realized that theres "low profile" fuses that the tC uses and the ones I got are a bit long...
anyone know here do buy low profile fuses?

 

advance auto...

or toyota..

 

toyota....dealer? hmm....that sounds expensive... theres spare fuses in the panel under the hood...but no 7.5s in there =[

you know what else was in there? a fuse removing tool!! D: I tried pulling it out with my fingers then got frustrated so I took out a flat head screw driver to kinda gauge it out...now its a bit scratched around that fuse. I put it the fuse back in cuz it looks fine and now its slightly loose on the side I used the screw driver on...

Did your guy's acc cig lighter(the one in the middle compartment) work straight out from the dealer? The sales person I talked to said sometimes they leave it unplugged on purpose and that could be why it doesn't work. I bought the car used from someone...
