Default 98 Jetta Cig Lighter fuse location?

My Cig lighter does not want to work and I believe it is the fuse, however I have looked for the fuse under the dash above the relays and I cant find the dang thing. Can anyone explain or have a diagram to show me where I can find this fuse?

Thank you

Well without knowing which engine is fitted its not easy.

Autodata don't list an 98 Jetta only 83-92 and 05-11.

A Jetta (05-11) 1.9D TDI PD

Fuse 42 20A in the fascia at the end of the dash pull the panel off.

I have pulled the pannal down and looked below and above the relays and cannot find it, the engine thats in there is the 2.0 engine and I do not have the handbook for the car

Unless you mean that there is a pannel on the very side of the dash where you have to open the door to get to it??

I did say the panel at the end of the dash. End\side is the same thing.

I looked and there is no pannel the only fuses I see are under the dash below the steering wheel. I have taken the whole thing out thinking there would be the fuse at the very top above the relays like I have been told, but there is nothing there... thats why im asking if posible it is in another location like under the hood or if it looks different form a standered looking fuse.

No panel only fuses, then someone has removed the panel and left it off. The fuse\relay box under the bonnet won't have this.

Jetta (05-11) 1,9D TDI PD 2005-07 Engine code: BRM

Facia 1 fusebox

F42 (20amp) - Cigarette lighter/charging sockets.

6th row down 3rd fuse from the left.

Similar to this.



I've just spotted this. 98 Jetta Fuse panel diagram

And Where is the cigarette lighter fuse on a 97 Jetta?

Sorry there are no fuses on the side/end of the dash in the 98 Jetta K2 only under the dash and was told in the engine bay

Edit: I believe I found the answer and a diagram after mosing around in some other forums, but thanks Keithuk for trying to help
