How do I replace the cigarette lighter fuse for a 1988 Mazda 626 DX 4 Cyl.? I looked in the owner’s manual and it did not say anything about the cigarette lighter. Is this an easy repair I can do myself or is it complicated?

Once you find the fuse block, it should be fairly simple…Usually, the fuses are marked as to what circuit they protect…The lighter usually has a 20 amp fuse…

Well you know I checked the 20 amp fuse and it wasn’t burnt out. The 15 amp fuses looked good too. So now I don’t know where to look?
