Hello,I have just joined this and have a question I hope someone can clarify for me.
It may seem a little trivial,but I developed a fault on the cigarette lighter and the fuse blew
I don't smoke,but frequently use it to blow my tyres up (which persist on deflating) !
I have checked all the fuses,took the console out to see if there is a hidden fuse,and there doesn't seem to be a picture of it on the fusebox lid.
Can someone please enlighten me ?
Model is wrxsti,2litre turbo,1997.Japanese import.

Any help will be greatly appreciated !

Thank You All........Alan.

Thank you all for your response.
Will try the fuse first and let y'all know.

Well,I tried the 3rd fuse along and it is in order.
I also looked at the fusewire on the back of the lighter and that too is intact.
My next move is to take a live or +ve from the battery,through a 15a inline fuse to the lighter socket,putting the inline fuse under the bonnet,near to the battery,with a label on it, for easy access !!

Thank you all once again.....Alan.
