No power getting to lighter. #5 25 amp fuse is good. I think! do these newer fuses seperate in the middle if burnt out?
Thanks for your help.

Make sure there is power to the fuse. If there is and it is good, you need to trace the wiring from there to the lighter. If there is no power to the lighter, there has to be a break in the wiring.
