Thishas to do with the cigarette lighter fuse. The cigarette lighter has gone out thats on the dash on the drivers side. I do know its the fuse. I have seen post saying look here or here. I have looked in the fuse box in the glove box and under the hood on the fire wall and haven't found it yet. Does anyone know the EXACT spot or location that fuse would be on a 2014 freightliner cascadia?
Thanx for all the help. I've been in the fuse box in the glove box many times. For some reason can't find the cigarette lighter fuse. Maybe it's under another name. I'll go back and look again. Once again. Thank you.
Finally found the fuse. It was (F7) in the glove box. On the glove box schematic it's wrote up as (Dash Pwr RCPT 2, Bat) this is the cigarette lighter plug on the dash. I'm glad that's over with. Thanx to all.
Since there's no such thing as a "cigarette lighter" anymore (I don't even think it's an OPTION) - Dash Power Receptacle is what it's going to be labeled. BAT means it's wired directly to the battery - and not through a relay.
There are TWO FUSES labeled that way (1 & 2). They are both 15 Amps. Replace them with the same amperage rating. If they keep blowing, you are overloading the circuit. If you replace it with a higher amperage fuse, you may burn up the wires, or burn down the truck (worse case scenario - more then 22% of highway fires are electrical in origin).
