Finding the Fuse Location for the Cigarette Lighter Power Outlet in a Toyota Camry

Hi Guys! In this article, we will explore the fuse location for the cigarette lighter and the power outlet in the Toyota Camry. Knowing where to find and replace the power outlet fuse lets you quickly restore functionality and enjoy the convenience of powering your devices. So let’s go for it.

In the 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 Camry has two fuse panels that you need to check. One in the cabin and one in the engine bay. The cabin fuse box is typically positioned on the driver’s side, beside the pedal. Open the black cover to reach the fuse box. So here is the location of Power Outlet number 1.

The fuse is a 15 amp in blue color. This fuse is the mini fuse, so make sure you know what you need before you go buy the wrong mini-size fuse because there are two types of fuses.

The next fuse for us to check will be under the hood, but not all of the Camry will have this fuse, but I’ll show it to you anyway. There’s no fuse for this particular car, but your car may have that 7.5 amp fuse located right there.
