Modern Peugeot cars, released after 2010, are known for their reliable electrical system and high popularity in the world. One of the most important elements of this system is the cigarette lighter fuse. It protects the electrical outlet and wiring from overload and short circuit, ensuring the safety of the driver and passengers.

What is a cigarette lighter fuse in a Peugeot car?

The cigarette lighter fuse is a small but critically important element of a car’s electrical system that interrupts current when overloaded.

Main functions:

  • Protecting vehicle wiring and electronics
  • Prevention of overheating and ignition in the event of a short circuit
  • Ensuring safe operation of 12V sockets and cigarette lighter

In most modern Peugeots, the cigarette lighter and 12V sockets have a separate fuse rated at 15 A.

  2. Moisture in the cabin unit after washing or rain
  3. Circuit overload through additional devices (charging, inverters)
  4. Poor contact in BSI / BSM units

Recommendation: if it keeps blowing, do not install a fuse with a higher rating – first find the cause.
