Cigarette Lighter Fuse?

Plugged in my portable Garmin GPS unit and the adapter that I put into the cigarette lighter gets stuck. I wrestle with it and it finally comes out with a little spark.

Now the cigarette lighter won't work, as I depressed the button to no avail. Is there a fuse somewhere that I need to replace?

Being the most non-mechanical person on this board, please be gentle with the explanations.

That little spark you mentioned blew the fuse. The fuse box is located in the back of the glove box. It's a little tricky to get to, if you have a glove box flashlight, remove it before you open the fuse box. The fuse box has two tabs on top to allow it to swing down. Use the fuse puller to remove the bad fuse. The individual fuse location is printed on the inside of the fuse box. Good luck.

Thanks I found everything. It sure was very difficult finding the right angle to get to the fuses.
