Default 07 cigarette lighter quit what fuses?

I have an 07 ram 1500. 2 of the cigarette/power receptacles quit after barely touching something plugged into one with my knee. The ones that aren't working are closest to the steering wheel on the dash and the hidden one in the armrest. I believe I have checked all the fuses under the hood and seen nothing that stands out. No owners manual and nothing showed the fuses in the repair manual. Is there anything that connects these 2 and not the 3rd(do these 2 only work when the truck is on)? Any idea what fuse would go to this or better yet have a fuse diagram that I don't have to spend 20 mins trying to download from a site my computer just wont allow me to access? Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks

Take a volt meter or test light and test each fuse. Sometimes they "look" good but are blown

The fuse box cover has labels on it.

Sometimes they just say "Aux" for the cig lighters, and just replace the fuses anyways, they might "Look" good but they can easily be bad.

Can't tell you how many times I've seen fuses look okay and be bad....

Should be a key on the inside of the cover.... if not then you'll need to consult the service manual for answers, or check another truck of the same year and see what it says.
