Power Outlet Socket

Power Outlet Socket
My phone charger came apart when I removed it from the socket the other day. As the metal tip fell out, it must have shorted it out 'cos it doesn't work any more.
It didn't make a sound like they sometimes do when a fuse goes and I've checked all the fuses I can find!
I'm talking about the permanently live socket marked Power Outlet 20A, NOT the switched Cigarette Lighter. The same thing has happened to that before but I changed the 15A fuse for it that's under the dash, behind the cover by the drivers door.
I have a Haynes manual for this model year (2000 Dakota Sport) and I've also looked in the Workshop manual that I downloaded from here (admittedly that for 2001 onwards). I've also used the Search facility here but the closest I got was a reply for a 2000 Dorango but I've checked and its not the same.
Does anyone know where the fuse is?
Thanks, Paul.

are there 3 seperate fuse boxes? please tell me thats it, and theres not another one by the spare.
i had a simular problem w/ my ipod cradle.
except i smelt smoke and the tip melted inside the outlet.
truck stunk for a week. i checked the 2 fuse boxes and couldn't find nothing.
the cradle is fried but now i'll look at this third box anyway.

Thanks Netdemon so much! Who would have thought to put extra fuses there? I'm sure that there a couple of spare spaces on the "front" of that fuse board, (if I remember correctly) that could have been used instead.
The fuse had blown, so it was just an easy replacement. Out of interest, what does the other fuse beside it do?
Thanks again, Paul.

Good to hear that fixed the problem. I believe the other fuse there is a 10Amp for the blower motor relay. Why these had to be in a different location than most of the other fuses I have no idea Just to frustrate the hell out of us when we're looking for them I guess.
