Default Power points not working - which fuse? 94 GT

The power point and cigarette lighter in my 94 mustang gt are not working. I assume its a bad fuse but I can't find a burnt out one in the distribution box (actually I did find one burnt out and that fixed my power seat which had stopped working- but the power points are still dead.)

Does anyone know which fuse controls these? Or is there another fuse box besides the one under the hood?

Thanks

oh two things arent working, misunderstood for a cigarrete lighter,

I believe you may have an additional fuse box , a partilally blown fuse will boggle your mind.

Thanks for the pics. I've found both fuse boxes now but still cant find a blown fuse. Does anyone have a box diagram or otherwise know which fuses are associated with the cigarette lighter and dashboard power point. I dont have my owners manual and for some reason Ford neglected the obvious step of putting the information right on the fuse box covers.

Underhood fuse panel should have a fuse labeled CIG ILLUM

instead of looking at them to determine if it's blown, use an electric meter on the Diode tester setting (the one that makes it beep when you touch the terminals together) to check them
