Default Cigarette Lighter not working

1999 C5 coup. I use the lighter plug to charge my phone and GPS. It stopped working. I may have blown a fuse with an air compressor. I am a newbe and need to know where the fuse box is located and what fuse to to look at and/or change. Help!

Ever consider looking in the OWNERS MANUAL? They are online for FREE if you don't have one.

Thanks, I never considered there might be manuals online. I need to find them. Anyway, I did not know there was another power port in the car. That piece of info solved the problem.

It could also be the plug on the back of outlet, I had an iPod adapter put in mine and they knocked the plug off when removing stuff, I could not find the fuse because it was not blown!
Good luck
Oh... I see you solved your problem, well maybe this will help someone else.
