Default Power outlet not working

Drivers side power outlet suddenly stopped working. The passenger side does work however. What's the first thing I should check? Fuse? Anyone know which fuse in the fuse box is for this? Could the cigarette lighter I've been using caused a malfunction?... I didn't think they drew enough power to cause a short.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

If I remember correctly, the driver's side should only work with the key in the on position, the other is always on.

The fuse would be either M6 or M7 in the TIP module (next to the battery).

Ok I will check the manual. Thanks.

I did tap into the lighter's ground wire for my LEDs, but I did that over a month ago, and I can't imagine how that would've disrupted the power.

You're right, drivers side is ignition only, passenger always on.

Thanks for the fuse info!
