This is on Scooby Too's 2012 Legacy 2.5 Ltd. We have had this problem before and I am stumped now.
The cigar lighter in the center dash (In front of the gear shift) is dead......the Armrest power port is all good. I know that the cigar lighter is fuse #20 (10 amps) and when I checked it was blown....so I popped in a fresh one and poof! It blew immediately ,,,,, Hmmmm so I did it again with a 20 amp fuse....poof. Same result so there must be another issue affecting that circuit.
Any ideas on where to start looking?? HELP!!
BTW............ I found a YouTube video on this very issue....The guy shows how to locate the fuse box and the #20 fuse and how to change it......when he starts the car (2011 Legacy) poof it also blows the new fuse. He finishes by saying "Now you know where that fuse is"
