Clock/Cigar lighter out... - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I did some searching and I couldn't find anything similar to my problem, so here goes...

First things first, the car is a 2000 Camry XLE V6. It has every option except the spoiler and traction control. It has the sunroof, power everything, and the JBL premium stereo, in case any of that matters here. Its also my first Toyota, so these fuses are a bit confusing to me. Every other car I've had has 1 fuse per circuit, this thing seems like it has 2 backups for everything.

I popped the fuse for the aux power plug, and at the same time my clock and cigar lighter quit working. I changed the fuse to the aux power plug (it was smoked), but the clock and cigar lighter are still out. I checked against the owners manual what other fuse may have blown but everything has like 4 fuses with it and only one specifies both the cigar lighter and the clock together and it was fine as were all the other fuses that said either one of those. On top of that, everything else on those fuses works just fine.

Any ideas of where I should look to next? Any fuses that control both of these things that I should be looking for? Any other ideas? I'm lost here, so any ideas would be awesome.

Sorry about the long winded post, and thanks in adavnce for any help.

Yeah mine was the "dome" fuse as well.
Without that fuse the buzzer for the door should not turn on, the cigar lighter should not work, dome light should not work, the clock should not work, and I think the light ring around the ignition should not be lit.

On my mothers '99 the cigar lighter fuse in the dash fuse box works the cigar lighter, the clock, and the power mirror controls. Check your cigar lighter fuse. The cheat sheet is on the back of the cover for the fuse box.

Thanks for the replies, guys. I did end up figuring out the problem. Basically, I managed to fry two fuses. The 2nd one was the one that also did the power mirrors. I'm still not sure I popped them both, but I've got everything working again. I will say though, that cigar lighter fuse is a major pain in the rear to remove if you have big hands!
