under the hood. just pop open the black box located under the hood just behind the battery on the driver side and it should tell you which fuse is for the cig.

Actually, if the front cig outlet is out its probly just a bad connection. i had the same problem when i first bought my GS and just had to resauder some wires on the back of the outlet.

The problem with mine wasn't the power. There was 12v up to the cig outlet. its a little hard to describe but basically there is 2 small wires on the back of the cig outlet that provides the power to either the inner or outer ring and it was a bad connection. its been a while.

it may not be the case for you,
