Default 2008 GT/CS lighter fuse?

I believe I recently blew out my lighter fuse, but looking at the schematics in the owner's manual I'm not seeing a listing for which one I need to replace (nothing plugged into the lighter draws power, but the lighter/source in the middle compartment works just fine).

Anyone able to help me out with which one I should change?

Look under "fuses" section of owners manual, listed in the index in the back.

Fuses 61 and 64 in BEC. 20 amp fuses.

when you suspect a blown fuse do not even bother with the manual. It will take less time to get under the dash and pull/inspect each fuse then it will to dig out the manual, find the right page, read all the descriptions and then pull the right fuse. Takes less then 2 mins to check each fuse and then when you walk away you will know its good or bad. Don't forget the fuses by the battery as well

Thanks, will give that a shot since the manual didn't list it in the schematics

If you're getting schematics from your manual then I want your edition of it...

BEC = Bussed Electrical Center, this IS the fuse box by the battery
, of which I gave both fuses for the two power points. 64 is the one for the specific one you were after. Power points are what they're listed under for the manual's fuses section.
