YACT: 91 Accord, where is the cigarette lighter fuse?

[thomsbrain]

do any of you 4th gen Accord owners have any idea where the fuse for the cigarette lighter is? i used to use mine all the time for a CD player, but hadn't in a long time. today i tried it with a power invertor and cell phone charger and neither worked (they work in other cars). so my first suspect is the fuse (if there is one), but neither the fuse box under the hood nor the one in the driver-side footwell have anything that looks like the the right one. everything else on the car still works, so i'm wondering if it's an inline deal, or just on the back side of the lighter itself...

Got the owner's manual?

nope, nor the service manual.

i was browsing some forums and it looks it shares the fuse with the radio, but my radio works fine. i'll check the fuse anyway, but it seems like maybe something is disconnected or otherwise broken in the lighter assembly. i'm gonna go take a closer look and report my findings.

hmm, so the radio fuse seems to be fine, i switched it with a spare just to be sure, but no go.

i pulled out the lighter assembly (broke the cover in the process), and it seems to look ok. i wiggled the wires but it didn't help. stupid piece of crap!

Its probably in the fuse box on the driver's side kick panel. I'm too lazy to pull out my manual

EDIT: My bad. Its fuse 22 in the underhood relay box
