where is the 12V lighter socket fuse?

Thanks... I appreciate the advice. The dealership said they thought it was under the hood. Since there is no third option for a fuse box, that's both of them covered so far. I was hoping someone might at least know the name of the circuit it's on. I don't really want to take out each one and and test it!

I tried some guesses like the 'dome light' circuit fuse... no joy there unfortunately!

Does anyone know anything more specific?... thanks in advance.

You can usually tell by looking at the fuse to see if it's blown. The little piece that runs across the two prongs in an 'S' shape will be destroyed.

I do appreciate the advice. I know what a blown fuse looks like and that they sometimes don't look that way, which is where a circuit tester comes in.

I appreciate the advice that it might be 7 or 10. It's an under the hood main box. 7 is no circuit with no fuse and 10 is the starting circuit, which functions normally. As does every other circuit I could guess it's on, like the interior lights etc.

This is the reason for my post to see if anyone might have some more detailed information as to where the 12V accessory circuit might be fused.

thanks.
