Default Fuse Mystery

My second cigarette lighter doesn't work (the one that's supposed to run from the battery). I figured the fuse was blown. It appears that "M7" is the location for the fuse.

The manual insists that M7 is a mini 20 amp fuse. The slot, however, looks like a three pronged fuse of some sort.

So I guess I have two questions: 1) Does M7 control the second cigarette lighter? 2) If so, what type/amperage of fuse should I be using?

Thanks in advance,

Shovel

turns out I had the same problem kept switching fuses, and that 3prong one wasn't the location, but turns out it was the M36 if im not mistaken. Have you ever taken apart your center stack dash area? I also found out that my connection to that plug had gotten alil loose cutting off power to the socket.

I'll post back in alil bit to verify the m36 location
