If you look at the fuse chart in the members section you will find that the cigar lighter/mirrors fuse is the top right hand fuse in the box to the right of the steering wheel. It is rated 15Amps.

yep, it sounds like one of the small fuses on the right lower hand section of the dash flippa...

I think its a 15 amp, but i could be wrong.

You'll need the little yellow tool that is attached on the inside of the flap to extract the fuses for checking....

I have one of those little yellow tools that Halfruds and others sell for removing fuses but find them a bit useless. You need to sqeeze very hard and pull at the same time to remove the fuses, hopeless if the fuse has solified.

Much easier with the tiny pair of long nose pliers which I keep in my glove box.
