Cigarette Lighter Fuse

[wthib]

I have a 2000 ML320. My cigarette lighter stopped working. I think I blew a fuse when I tried to run a DVD player that had a frayed wire. I have looked at every single fuse in the fuse box in the engine compartment, and cannot find a blown one. Is there an inline fuse for the lighter? If so, where is it and how can I access it? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.

I am quite certain its in the engine compartment fuse box as i blew mine a couple of weeks ago and i remember changing a fuse in the engine compartment fuse bay

It appears to be fuse F10 in this diagram for 1999 models. See http://www.whnet.com/4x4/shoptalk.html

As of 11/1999 build date the lighter is fed by fuse #f2 (20 amp) at right front kick panel. Tim

Thanks, Benztech, for the quick reply. Would you please be more specific as to where the "F2 20 amp fuse located at the right front kick panel" is located?
