    Hi all,
    in 2016 Prius Lighter Charger located in front stop working. The other on the rear is working OK.
    Is this could be some fuse problem ?

    They're on separate fuses, so the fuse for the front one would be a reasonable thing to check.

    Keep in mind that if you find a blown fuse, you haven't found the problem, you've found a clue to the problem, and when you find why the fuse blew, then you've found the problem.

    The owners' manual has a drawing to show which fuses are which, also shown on the lids of the fuse boxes.
