Cigarette Lighter

I noticed that my cigarette lighter that I normally plug my radar detector for power, was not working. Doing a little research, it appears the problem may be a blown fuse which should be located under the kick panel below the glove box. If that is the case, I need to know which fuse to replace. However, the drawings I found on the internet are not clear as to which fuse to pull. Are my assumptions correct, and if they are, can someone please point out the exact fuse to replace?

Thanks

Same thing happened to me a few years ago. It was the fuse under the passenger kick panel. There should be a picture on the fuse box cover that will tell you which fuse to check.

A quick search shows it as #7 fuse on the interior fuse box. The fuse map is on the inside of the fuse box cover.

Thanks. I had initially pulled #1 because it said console cigarette lighter. Then as Gorn Captain stated #7 states cigarette lighter. Any idea what is the difference between the two? It's also my understanding that if a fuse is bad the metal portion visible will be cut/discolored/bent. Both fuses looked fine to me. I'll go ahead and replace #7 as recommended which I assume you can buy from any auto parts store? Lastly, if the fuse replacement doesn't work any idea what may be the issue?

Thanks
