My cig lighter in the center console doesn't work and I need it to hook up my GPS - I was looking for a FUSE box to start trouble shooting but could not find one - I was looking under the dash on the drives side and on the firewall. WHERE is it hidden - or is there on to start with? CAR: Buick Riviera 1963
The fuse box is located above your left knee in the lower part of the dash. Remove 2 Phillip screws to access. There are also fuses attached to & behind each lighter. These are what you will need. Screws onto the back of the lighter assembly & the wire plugs into it.
Thanks for the detailed and Quick response. I will take a close look this weekend I tried to look behind the center console cigarette lighter fixture but it was not easy to reach or access from the center console glove box witch seams to be a fixed one ie not easy to remove and removing the chrome top piece of the center console seamed to me more work than I was willing to do at the time - but if there is a fuse located there is sounds logical to start looking at that one first. i found great wire diagrams online which show the Buick -63 [google for] MWireBuic65_3WD-019.jpg MWireBuic65_3WD-018.jpg thx Erik in San Jose CA w w w garaget org/gr8rods [web page to my 3 Buick I own and the Silver -63 is the one in question here]
