I don't know which fuse it would be but if you have a test light, check each side of every fuse till you find one that doesn't light up on both sides of the fuse..
 






If you have a voltmeter, you don't even need a manual. Just turn on the ignition and probe both sides of all the fuses (little slits on the back of the fuse). See if you can find one with 12v on one side of the fuse, and not on the other side.

edit: yea, like Ben said :D
 






well just got done testing, found i actualy have two blown fuses, one was the ciggar lighter at 17 (accidently crossed those once, lol), and also the radio one on 20

went down to dealership (only 8 blocks away), and bought two new fuses, both were about $1.70 a piece

Ouch going to a dealer for fuses.. Man I hope you got more than two fuses for that price..
 






no...for 2 fuses it was 3.60 i think

where would you go for fuses....keep in mind i live in rural minnesota....no auto zones, ect, around here...
 






Ahh that makes sense, you have a dealer 8 blocks away but no auto parts store.. thats odd.
