Default Cig Lighter Fuse

I think I have a blown fuse on the cigarette lighter. I have searched this forum and elsewhere for the location of the lighter fuse, and in all the diagrams it appears to be on a separate board next to the main fuse box. I don't have (or can't find) the fuse for the lighter. I found the box under the passenger side floor board, but couldn't find the additional fuse locations.

I'm sure its something stupid (I seem to excel at that).

2005 C6 Corvette base coup.

Thanks for any help you can give.

It's on the passenger side under carpet.

That's it and you beat me to posting the diagram. Here's a link for future reference: Fuse Box

Thanks for all the responses. I had found the diagrams that were posted, but my fuse box doesn't look like this.

There are no other fuses here, as shown in the diagram.

That's very odd as the 2005 manual shows the fuses that you are missing. Was your car modified? The two harnesses what's under those covers? Hope that someone else can help.

I've only had the car for a few months, but as far as I know, it's bone stock.

That fuse section is under the cover just right of the big wires.

FWIW.
I my experience the cigar light fuse will "pop" if you use the accessory port under the ac display...such as for use of a tire inflator.
Instead use the accessory port in the center console, under your lid, if you need long term power.

Yes, I have found replacing that fuse is a PIA.
Have fun.

You are absolutely right! That said, I still haven't been able to change it. Seems like the side wall of the passenger compartment overlaps the cap over the fuses. Haven't figured out how to fix that yet.

Thanks for all your help with this.

Post 11.
Yes again accessing this fuse can be a p.i.t.a.
Patience is the key.
The cover will come off (and go back on) without disconnecting or removing any wiring, without using great force, but some (weak) force can be expecting.
Good luck.
