Look in the owners guide. If you don't have one, go to
http://www.genuineservice.com/genuineservice/en/default?page=E4 and download
one. http://tinyurl.com/mnbhs should have you to the one you need directly.

As I read it, the Cigar Lighter is a 20 Amp fuse, located in position 3 of
the passenger compartment fuse panel. The Power Point Fuse is fuse number 1
in the underhood power distribution fuse box.

Dash cigarette lighter and power point do not work after running a tv and an
video game device simultaneously.  Checked my fuses and they are intact.
Any other ideas?

What I meant to say was:
Is the fuse for my cigarette lighter and the accessory dc port next to it,
one of the 5amp to 20amp fuses in my fuse panel?

My wife insisted on hooking up some serious electronics to these dc ports
and now they don't work.  I'm assuming a blown fuse.  Sure hope it's nothing
more; I'd hate to spend money on an I told you so scenario.

In the fuse block.

replacement fuses; both blew!

Will do.  Didn't notice any, but will take a purposeful look again.

Take a look at the back of each socket and see if anything is melted
back there.  Toyota trucks were known for cig lighter meldown 'cuz of
the small wires on the back.  The fix was to solder in a piece of 14g
solid copper in place of the wimpy 20 gauge conductor they had back
there.  With the fix, if something was still wrong, the fuse would
blow. instead of the socket.
