Fuse size and location for center console front top 12 volt outlet, ie cigar lighter.

[Elvisinflorida]

A faulty phone charger just blew the fuse on my 12 volt outlet at the top front of the console, ie cigar lighter. The 12 volt outlet on the passenger side of the console still works.

Any information on the size and location of the fuse would be appreciated.

Do you have an owners manual ? It's listed with the rest of the fuses in the Roadside Emergency section. Should be fuse #39 ( 20 amp ) .

Thank you for directing me to the proper part of the owner's manual.
The manual says #41 for cigar lighter and OBD2 diagnostic connector.
Now I need to get into the fuse box that it says is under the right side of the instrument panel.

#39 is for the two console power points, ie 12V sockets. Thankfully they are still live.

Thankfully I found that the dead cigar lighter was due to a blown fuse and not a problem with the circuit.

Finding the fuse box took some effort. The owner's manual vaguely says it's under the right side of the instrument panel. So after finding nothing there, I found this following link that explained everything. Just keep scrolling on down to find explicit details for finding and opening the fuse box. I found a handy little fuse puller in the lid of the fuse box.
