FAQ

What are the cigar lighter (power outlet) fuses for the Toyota Tacoma (1995–2000)?

The fuse locations for the cigar lighter and power outlet in the Toyota Tacoma vary by year:

1995–1997:
Fuse #25 “CIG” in the Instrument Panel Fuse Box (controls the cigarette lighter).

1998–2000:
Fuse #26 “CIG” in the Instrument Panel Fuse Box (cigarette lighter), and
Fuse #1 “PWR OUTLET” in the Engine Compartment Fuse Box (auxiliary power outlet).

If your lighter or outlet is not working, check these fuses first and replace any that are blown using the correct amperage.
