S40 12v cigarette lighter fuse location

[aidy55]

I'm trying to find out where the fuse is for my cigarette lighter socket. Have googled this extensively and changed f45 and f67. And a couple of others. Still not working.

I was adding a second 12v socket piggy backed off the cigarette lighter socket and accidentally crossed wires. My parrot mki9200 works through this wiring and it is not working so has to be the fuse

It's an 09 s40

It should be fuse 45.

It is f45. Would you believe you fuse I replaced it with was a dud lol

is there a separate fuse for the front and back sockets? I only ask as my rear one works but my front doesn't?

I do have a manual - but find it much easier to consult the online version from the Volvo website.

This is all I can find in the manual:

45.Electrical socket............................................ ....................15 A
77.Electrical socket in cargo area, accessory electronic module(AEM) ...................................15 A

Now I find this odd that the manual also states you can have 10A on each one, which obviously exceeds the 15A fuse in socket 45, I don't have a socket in the boot, so wondering if that would be the back seat socket?
If not and both are on 45 then the manual is wrong in stating I can use 20A total, but more importantly it means there is either a problem with the socket or the wiring.

It possibly means (but doesn't explain very well !) that you can have 10A in either of those two places - but not at the same time ? i.e. the wiring to each is rated safe at 10A but isn't considered safe to carry 20A

True, but if that were the case wouldn't they either need to be on two separate 15A fuses or there be a 20A fuse used?

I'm going to take the panel off and check the fuse box and check the socket in the front, I have a sneeking suspicion the previous owner has disconnected it to power the Bury device, if that's the case I might just replace it with one of these:

or just patch it so it never existed, I don't really use it.

you mate are an absolute legend and thank you I couldn't find it and now have fixed my issue Just an FYI if you have a cigarette lighter don't leave it plugged in and put the rear seat up it pushed against it and yeahhh bad idea
