    I have the prostar eagle 2009. There are two 12 volt outlets on the dash, only one of them is a cigarette lighter. I can't seem to find the fuse to the actual cigarette lighter anywhere. I looked in the outside compartment fuses and the passenger side dash fuse compartment. Anyone have a clue as to where this fuse is?

    It could be a fuseable link type of cigarette lighter. It draws too much current and the internal pins in the housing pop open.

    Thanks,

    Not all are labeled either and can be shared with another circuit. For example a Ford Mustang shares the cigarette lighter fuse with the power seats and is labeled pwr seats. Of course you don't have power seats, but you see what I'm sayin.

    Everyone I seen are in the interior fuse panel. Look for a 30 amp fuse or circuit breaker. I know they had a problem with the door panel's power. Each side was on a 30 amp breaker and the cover caused the breakers to prematurely wear. The fix was to change them to mini-fuses. You might have a similar scenario. But look for a 30 amp on the interior panel will help you narrow it down. You can temporarily swap breakers if you don't have a tester. My guess it's a 30amp fuse.

    The outside panel is more for things you find under the hood and that are powered with use of a relay in the circuit like your DRL's, fan and stuff.
