coin fell into cigarette lighter
hey all. heres my situation. a penny fell into my cigarette lighter making my heat/cooling/defrost to stop working. i have been looking on line for solutions and everyone says i blew a fuse and just need to replace the fuse. i looked under the hood and the heating and cooling fuses look fine. there should be another fuse box located by the dead rest pedal on the driver side, so i heard. but i cannot find one. any ideas? thanks guys

yea u have to pull the carpet forward and its in there. also just because a fuse"looks" fine doesnt mean it is. take it out anywYs if u dont have a multimeter to check it and change it out. fuses are cheap as hell so its worth just changing it if ur not sure. just my experience.
note: the fuses have a black cover and is about 4 inches big... thats why ppl have trouble finding it... u have to pull the carpet and then find the black cover that has e fuses in it

I just blew that same fuse when I pluged in my phone charger.
Does the climate control light up but not display the information or allow you to change the settings?
If so, try checking the #10 fuse in the fuse box by your feet. If the little metal connection between the two metal pegs is burn out or broken its just a blown fuse. If it is the #10 fuse that should be a 15amp fuse. Theres might be a fuse puller and and extra fuse in the fuse box under the hood. good luck and I hope this saves you from checking every single fuse! =]
