Default POWER OUTLET PROBLEM 2000 Dakota

My 20 amp electrical POWER OUTLET, on my 2000 Dakota,has suddendly stopped working. Where is the FUSE for this outlet? Havecheck fuses on left side of dash panel, and under hood, but, all appear to be OK. Also, are there other solutions that I should look for? Thanks.

Not that I know of. Double check the fuses. They may look okay but might be out. My guess is the one under the hood.

Here is the wire diagram for the outlets.

Thanks for your help, but, there are NO FUSES, in dash panel, or, under hood, that are labeled POWER OUTLET. I have removed and continuity tested all the 20 amp fuses and they are good. So, I am still STUCK.

The CIGARETTE LIGHTER is on a 15 amp fuse and is labeledin dash panel fuse box. The POWER OUTLET is suppose to be on a 20 amp, but, I can't find it's LABELED location. My cigarette lighter is working. Thanks.

Had truck since new. Never added electrical accessories or messed with wiring. Haven't used POWER OUTLET that much, so, was surprised to find it not working. Last time used, was about two months ago.
