yeah you blew the fuse. dont get pissed at the car... your the one that put a damaged lighter in the power plug and blew the fuse. and its a 10 year old car... what do you expect. Stuff breaks. Im curious what the projected lifespan of a car is according to honda. I know jaguar used to say 4-6 year car lifespan was what they planned for for reliability. Chevy has been known to put in parts that wear out after X amount of usages to make them more money on the backside. Shit my buddies brand new Mercedes had the adjustable suspension go out on it 4 miles after he bought it. Then the air suspension broke on his navigator broke as he was driving home from the dealership. Just sayin... shit happens.

It's the fuse man, chill. If a blown fuse was all I had to worry about right now i'd be happy as a clam.

There are 4 radio/cig lighter fuses two by the pedals, two under the hood. (2 main and 2 backup one each in the 2 boxes) I blew the one under the hood b4, had the same problem as you, just replace the fuse 15 amp i believe (blue) and that's all you need to do.

That's the one that I blew, that's why i have a box of 50 spare fuses of every size they make in the glovebox, cuz I went without a radio for 2-3 days

yea for over a year. sometimes im not proud of it. but they pay good and the fact that i can get a discount on basically every car manufactuer helps too. but then again everyone asks me for discounts on parts. so that sucks though. i only do it for a few ppl.
