    there are 2 fuse boxes, one in the engine compartment by the driver's fender, one inside where you are already looking.

    AND...there is a relay for the front power outlet under the front, left corner of the dash.

    Oh, if the fuses check OK, get a meter (or test light) and see if you have power to the plug in the back of the power outlet. There is a small fusible link made into the outlet that may have blown. If you look closely at this picture, you can see it on the back of the outlet.

    (Thanks to @shanecrow99 and this post: power outlet fuse location, for the reminder.)

    found the blown fuse in interior panel got a new 15 amp fuse but is has to be a smaller shallower version.

    Yes, always a rude surprise:confused:, they use the Low Profile mini fuse.

    no, if the dashboard lights are failing, it's a bad combination meter
