Where is the fuse located for console cigarette lighter in a 2006 Chevy Silverado?

The fuse for the cigarette lighter (power outlet) in a 2006 Chevy Silverado is located in the underhood fuse block. It's *not* typically in the interior fuse panel. The specific fuse number will vary depending on trim level and options, but it's usually labeled as "Power Outlet" or something similar.

To find it:

1. Locate the underhood fuse block. It's usually a black box near the battery.

2. Open the fuse block cover. There should be a diagram on the inside of the cover showing the fuse layout and what each fuse controls.

3. Refer to the diagram to find the fuse for the power outlet. The diagram will usually show the amperage rating of the fuse as well.

If you can't find it using the diagram, consult your owner's manual. It will have a complete fuse box diagram with locations and amperage ratings for all fuses and relays. You can also search online for a fuse box diagram specific to your 2006 Silverado's trim level and options.
