Default Blown fuse!
Can anyone point me in the right direction when searching for the fuse that goes to the 12+ Constant in the pigtail. It seems to be blown and I cant find the corresponding fuse. Thanks!

Can you be more specific about what you mean by "pigtail" ?? Where is the wire located, what color is it?

In my 2001 manual it appears to come off the Cigarette Lighter Fuse (Fuse 7 - 20 Amp) in the Instrument Panel Fuse block (not the engine compartment fuse block). It is shown as "Hot at all times", it is not switched on/off by the ignition.

Thanks! I'll look into it, as well as looking into some service manuals.
