I plugged a power inverter in while I was camping and tried to plug in my coffee maker. 'POP'!
I figured I just blue a fuse, but there isn't anything wrong with the fuse and I replaced it, but no power. What's worse is I need to check a check engine light, but the plug is dependent on power to the cigarette lighter.

So far I replaced fuse no 17 and checked if there was power in the wire that plugs into the lighter.

Anyone have any solutions?
 






Is there power in the cigarette lighter itself? Did you check with a multimeter?
If there isn't, you have to trace it back to every fuse, I believe there's a primary fuse for the cigarette lighter under the hood in the distribution box. Check there.

I checked the wire going to the cig lighter with a multimeter & no power. The manual said fuse 17 (inside door panel 25amp) is the cigar lighter. I don't see anything in the manual about a fuse in the engine compartment.
