Radio and Cigarette lighter doesnt work?..Need HELP Pls

Hi,
This is probably a simple fuse issue(i hope)....
i plugged in an air compressor this past weekend because I had a flat tire in the middle of a snow storm and when i tried turning on the compressor it flickered on for 1 sec and just turned off.
i then noticed that my cellphone wasnt charging anymore later on that day and my radio no longer turns on.

Is this just a problem of a blown fuse? if so , which fuse is it and whats the amp rating on it?

Thank you,

Check the fuse. Sounds like the switched ACC fuse that powers them is blown. Prolly a 20-25amp in the drivers kick panel. They use the same circuit.

So it's labeled ACC?

Thanks,

my rear taillights do come on with my headlights, but i did noticed that my right brake light is non functional now.
i replaced that bulb and still not working. I get the brake lamp warning on my speedometer gauge.

ARGH...

its most likely a fuse, i had the same problem, i was listening to cd player and all of a sudden it turned off and radar detector as well [which was plugged in cigarette lighter]. i cant remember whether the fuse is on the left of the pedals or in the center.

hey does any one else have a light around the cig lighter?? mine looks like there could be one there but it never comes on, is it just a bulb, or is it not supposed to light up around the lighter hole?

Okay...it was definitely a 15a FUSE.
Thanks guys!

Now I have one more issue.
My right brake light does not come on when I brake.
I have replaced the bulb twice (thinking it was the bulb) and It did not fix the issue. I took the same bulbs and placed them on left brake light assembly and the bulbs work fine, so it's not the bulbs. Is there a fuse for this as well? or do i have a different problem altogether?

thanks
