Were do you find out what amps does a Chevy Tahoe take for cigrate lighter takes?

The amperage rating for a Chevy Tahoe's cigarette lighter (or 12V power outlet) isn't usually listed in a single, easily accessible place like the owner's manual. This is because the amperage isn't a fixed value; it's a maximum rating determined by the fuse protecting that circuit.

To find out the amperage, you need to:

1. Check your owner's manual: Look in the fuse box diagrams section. The diagram should show which fuse protects the cigarette lighter circuit and its amperage rating.

2. Locate the fuse box: Your Tahoe will have one or more fuse boxes, usually under the hood and sometimes under the dashboard.

3. Identify the fuse: Once you find the correct fuse in the box, its amperage rating will be printed on it (usually in amps). The fuse rating is the *maximum* amperage the outlet can safely handle.

Important Note: Don't just assume a certain amperage. Using a device that draws more current than the fuse rating will blow the fuse, and potentially damage the vehicle's electrical system. Always check the fuse box diagram for the correct fuse and its rating before plugging in devices.
