Hi guys, I've been a member here for a long time but this is my first post. I'm in need of some help. I've already posted this problem on ********* and haven't gotten a working solution yet:thumbdwn:

Here's the problem:
I have a few switches for auxillary lighting tapped into the power wire for the auxillary power outlet (The one that sits on the lower console, passenger side) and yesterday night while switching out a couple wires stupid me forgets to unhook my battery, a wire touches a wrong prong on a switch, sparks, then no power at ALL to the outlet is the unfortunate result. I can't find a single BLOWN FUSE anywhere... I was told that the fuse for this outlet is #22 on the interior fuse panel and is a 20amp fuse, but my manual (the one in my truck and on the ford website) states that number is for the turn signal fuse and a 10amp fuse is sitting in there right now.

I have no idea what the hell the problem is, and maybe I am misunderstanding something when It comes down to where this fuse is. My truck is a 1997 XLT for the record, and I would really love some help becasue I need this outlet to start working again because I love my lights. :(
