Does anyone happen to know where the fuse is to the cigarette lighter? My RCF apparently blew a fuse and I've opened all 3 fuse boxes and so far no identifying markings.
I would think the most likely place would be fuse box under the steering wheel here is a picture of that..
Well I changed out the 15A P-Outlet fuse it didn't change anything it's still not working so either it's a electrical issue or that's not the right fuse, I'll probably have to take it into the lexus dealership 😢 but before I do I'll try to call them and confirm that was the right fuse.
Did you ever find out which fuse it was? My "cigarette" outlet isn't working either. I replaced the 15amp too and it still doesn't work. I then used a tester and all of them were fine. I'm guessing it is an electrical issue but was hoping I didn't have to drive an hour to go to the Lexus dealership to fix it.

Nope, I never figured it out I also replaced the 15A P outlet, even though mine wasn't broken, I put back my original one back in, when I go to get my fuel line replacement I was going to see if they can check all my fuses and find out what the problem is I'm hoping it's not a costly electrical problem, my guess is it got overloaded maybe it's a safely feature, I did install illuminated door sills so maybe that shut it down, I also can't have my cell phone charging at the same time my usb memory stick is plugged in playing my music from it at the same time, so that tells me it's weak and can easily be over powered, I wanted to plug in rgb multi color strips that glow that go from the cigarette lighter plug and run it under my seats but that might over load it even if I get it fixed so I'll have to ask about what the electrial limit is once they fix it so I don't accidentally over power it again like I might have some how already. I'll keep you updated and let you know what they tell me please do the same if you find out before me.
Maybe there is a "nonrecoverable thermal fuse" inside that cig lighter? It just thermally decouples as it gets too hot and separates to stop the juices from continuingly heat up and cause a fire? If this is the case, then the whole cig lighter will need to be replaced or if you can solder in a new thermal fuse.
