12V power outlet quit working

[ForTheHordeKT]

Anyone have this issue? Both the one in my dash and the one in my center console quit working last night. I'm intending to check fuses today after work since it was already dark outside and I really didn't feel like fumbling around with the flashlight when I noticed this. But in my experience in my other vehicles, the fuse that coincides with the cigarette lighters usually also coincided with some other things in the dash too, and I'm not seeing anything else in there not working properly. The only thing that's ever been plugged into this was a gps unit and a USB adapter for my phone. I doubt either of those would have drew too much of a load, it's not like I plugged in an adapter and then plugged a microwave into the thing lol. I'm going to take a look at the fuses anyways even though I'm doubting a blown fuse could be the culprit. Hopefully I'm wrong, but what are some other things to look at if I'm not? Really not looking forward to spending a day in Ford's service dept. unless I really have to.

Edit - Bloody hell, reading a post somewhere about somebody burning out a fuse in their 2012 mustang when they used one of those 12v cigarette lighter air pumps reminded me that I did use mine once a couple weeks back. Ran over a nail and had to have the tire patched. Completely put that air pump out of my mind until now, that really sucks if that's what is going to happen every time I need to use that. Suppose I'll find out if that's what happened once it's not 4am and dark as hell outside.
