Cigarette Lighter fuse blown 2x

[Dan Greenberg]

I have had my 2017 A3 Quattro for almost 2 weeks now.

When I got it the cigarette lighter outlet was not working. Not a smoker but need it to work for tire pump and other things.

Took me a while to find the fuse manual calls it output port I think.

Replaced the fuse and it worked.

Car went to shop Monday-Friday for them to touch up some scratches and fix the road rash on wheels (don't worry they did an alignment).

I picked it up this morning and the cigarette lighter outlet is not working again.

I'll replace the fuse but not sure why this is happening, nothing was plugged into it that I am aware of.
The port is free of any coins or other foreign objects.

Any thoughts?

Take it back to where you bought it from.

Yes of course I will it has warranty but if I can check something first I'd prefer. Dealer is great but still an inconvenience.

Sound like you have a wire that is shorting out. Let your warranty take care of it.

Is that fuse 40? I believe there are potentially up to three sockets that could be on that fuse - the cigarette lighter, an aux power socket behind the centre console for the rear passengers and an aux power socket in the boot, depending which options were specified.
