FAQ

Which fuses protect the cigar lighter and power outlets in the Toyota RAV4?

In the Toyota RAV4, both the cigarette lighter and auxiliary power outlets within the cabin are safeguarded by two fuses housed in the Instrument Panel Fuse Box:

Fuse #15 “PWR OUTLET” — Powers the 12 V auxiliary power outlet (power socket).
Fuse #16 “CIG” — Dedicated to the cigar lighter (cigarette socket).

If either the power outlet or lighter stops working, check these two fuses first and replace with the correct amperage rating.
