    Hello Everyone,

    I have not been here in a while. boy have things changed. I can't seem to find anything! I also have an issue that I have to resolve. I know the answer is here. But I have been unable to find it. Yes I have "searched". I think the jury is out on the "new" format of the forums...

    So I have an Android smart phone. That I ALWAYS put on the charger in my 2005. However. I have blown the fuse to the cigarette lighter. Both the one in the center console and the one under the passenger side dashboard.

    The last time that happened. I bought the indicated 15 Amp fuse (as the Owner's Manual indicates - vaguely) Only to find that swapping out fuse 20 IIRC. Yealded no power to those ports. I had to take it to the dealer and spend an extra $50 to get that fuse changed. I was miffed to say the least.

    So... Expert Prius Owners... Where is that darn fuse located?

    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks!
