Default Shorted Out Cigarette Lighter Fuse

Hey,

I was messing around with 12V lighting in my CTS-V, and accidentally shorted out the cigarette power receptacle. I have the service manual, but unfortunately, I can't seem to locate any burnt out fuses.

Have any of you guys done this (probably not ), and if so, do you remember which fuse you blew, or at least which fuse box it was in?

The one for the V1 has the fuse under the hood. I have burnt my one out twice and don't know why. It knocks out my ipod adapter too.

Any thoughts, just a simple ground issue?

I would rather bump a thread because I searched than be one of the many dipshits on here that ask the same question over and over like a douche.
