Cigarette socket fuse?

The front cigarette lighter socket is not working in my '04 Continental GT, anyone know which fuse is for this and it's location? Thanks

is it left hand drive,if so under steering wheel there is a kick panel that drops down when released . on the lower level of fuses you will find 4 or 5 15 amp fuses(blue) ,i think its about the third one in and you can either test with a test lite (recommended) or remove and see if its blown,common fault on those was for the socket to actually burn out due to aftermarket plugs being installed so fuse may blow instantly.

It looks like it is fuse F84 located under the steering wheel. Once you get to the fuse box, you have to look real closely for the numbers near the fuses as they are very small.

I have a RHD, I tried pulling down the kick panel underneath the steering wheel but it seemed like it was attached somehow? I couldn't see any screws just looked like it was hinged from the bottom of the panel. I didn't want to force it, is it just clipped in place?

use a torch and look along the lower edge and you will see a black pull handle. pull that and it will drop open

Pre MY06 have hinged panel with pull handle whilst MY07 the complete panel pops off with a bit of force.

It was a small pull handle to release the drop down panel as you said, then I found a 15A fuse blown on the bottom row.Replaced that and now it's working, thanks again guys
