FAQ

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

In the Toyota RAV4, several fuses provide power to the 12 V outlets, cigar lighter, and optional inverter. These are located in two fuse boxes:

Instrument Panel Fuse Box:
Fuse #23 “CIG” — Cigarette Lighter
Fuse #24 “ACC” — Accessory Power Outlets
Fuse #27 “PWR OUTLET” — Power Outlets
Fuse #12 “ACC‑B” — Accessory circuit (shared with lighter/outlets)

Engine Compartment Fuse Box (Fuse Box №1):
Fuse #18 “AC INV” — Controls the 115 V AC power outlet (inverter-powered, if equipped)

If the front 12 V socket, auxiliary outlets, or inverter outlet are not functioning, consult this list. Always replace any blown fuse with one of the exact amperage rating as listed in your owner’s manual. Let me know if you’d like amperage details or a user manual diagram!
