First thing- check the fuse. 2nd thing- probably the wire came lose- you'll have to get that panel off and see.

That being said- you have 2 outlets. Do you need both?

I dont have a cigarette lighter. Can I just put one in the power outlet or do I have to change it?

Put a cigarete lighter in the switched outlet on left side of panel. Worked for a while then blew the fuse. Changed fuse. Worked once and blew fuse again.

I am thinking about changing 20 amp with 30 amp fuse. Anybody else done this. I know circuits are made for certain amp draw but 10 amps shouldn't make a big difference. If there is a real short it should blow the 30 amp fuse before doing any damage. Or am I way off?

Any input on this?

Depends if that fuse is intended solely for the outlet. A lot of fuses(now a days) handle multiple things, and you run the risk of shorting them out also. Most lighters work off of a power wire and negative wire, you might be able to find a cheap replacement designed for that purpose.

theres a chart in the inside of the fuse box. thats how I found it.

eneded up paying 35 bucks for a "smokers kit" at the dealer.

Lot of money but it works

It's a 10A, IIRC. Once your cig lighter blows it, it will likely continue blowing it. Go down to autozone and buy another $5 one, and a pack of fuses. =)
