Silly question, but did you have the key turned to "acc" when you tried it? It won't work in off position.
Sorry, don't know about separate fuse for it.

Ducky, have you used it recently?
I know on the older rigs like mine, the stock one up front uses a fusable link wire within a few inches of the outlet on the power wire.
It it blows, no juice.

That happened on my '90 truck I use to have, and I simply eliminated the fusable link altogether.

Yours may have one back by the outlet in the power wire, and it could have blown from running something to long back there.
I blew my mine out using an air compressor.

Check the outlet itself. The cig lighter outlet in my truck has a "fuse" in the outlet assembly. It is a small wire-fuse on the back of the outlet. Mine blew/melted when I was running a air compressor.......I searched the fuse panel and found no blown fuses. It wasn't until I removed the outlet and inspected it that I found that 'fuse' int he outlet had blown. I "repaired" mine by soldering in a wire jumper in place of the melted wire-fuse......I felt that the fuse in the fuse box should prevent any fire hazard

Hope this helps.

David
