Have 2013 X5 and the front seat cigarette lighter is no longer powering the USB adapter I have in the lighter socket. I've studied the fuse diagram and reviewed the owner's manual and can't figure out which fuse powers this lighter. Did a forum search and pulled the 6, 111, 113, 115 fuses and they check good. Hasn't been a recent post on this so any help would be appreciated.

PS: okay, this is now an FYI post since there seems to be little experience with this issue, but a quirk that was mentioned in posts for older vehicles I just experienced. I pulled all of the above fuses and reset them, none were blown. So, this morning I try the USB in the cigarette lighter socket and it is now charging the iPhone....mystery solved...kind of. Still don't know which fuse powers the cigarette lighter and don't quite understand why pulling and resetting a fuse would do anything. Is there some kind of bus that would be rebooted by pulling and resetting a fuse? Somebody with much greater electrical knowledge feel free to educate us....I'm sure I'm not the only one experiencing this issue. Thanks
