No more radio, lighter plug????

I had a shortcut in one of my lighter plugs. A piece of metal that entered the plug by error caused the shortcut.

Now, I have no more radio and my 2 lighter plugs don't work.

Took out the fuse, tried another one... doesn't work.

I took out the fuse from the power seats and try the "faulty" fuse in it. The seats work. Problem is not the fuse.

What could be the problem???? If it's not the fuse that blew, what is it??

Thanks for you answers

Test all the fuse slots with a test light or a meter. See which one is bad. Don't we have more fuses under the hood?? I've never blown one so I'm not too sure.

check fuse number 9 (20amps) in the passengers underdash fuse/relay box, if thats not it check the fuse number 54 (40 amp) in the under hood fuse/relay box. if those are not it you mgiht have burned the relay is in the passengers under dash fuse/relay box labled accessory power socket relay but i doubt it because it only controls the power to the accessory sockets, and seeing as you said the radio does not work i would first check fuse number 54 (40 amp) under the hood.
