Answer
Hello Dawn,
The owners manual has a page that tells what each fuse powers.
But with a test light, you could just check each and every one of the fuses, while they are in place.

The wire could be unplugged from the back of the cig lighter socket. Most now need a ground wire connected also if the socket is mounted in plastic, or if it is mounted in the sliding ashtray.
