Which fuses protect the cigar lighter and power outlets in the Toyota RAV4?
In the Toyota RAV4, the following fuses in the Instrument Panel Fuse Box are responsible for the cigarette lighter and auxiliary power outlets:
Fuse #2 “CIG” — Powers the cigarette lighter (cigar lighter). Fuse #3 “POWER OUTLET” — Protects the 12 V auxiliary power outlets (power ports).
Check these fuses if your vehicle’s lighter or power outlets stop working, and replace any blown fuse with the correct amperage as specified in the manufacturer’s guide.
