Did I blow a fuse?

So today I removed my ipod charger from my cigarette lighter, and my unplugged aux cable accidentally went into the cigarette lighter causing a click sound while I was driving... So I quickly plugged back in my charger and just as I thought, it no longer works.

I then drove home from work and found that my Subs weren't working either, so I checked my amp, and it isn't on. Now do you guys think this is just a fuse problem and nothing else...? If so what fuses? I looked at the fuse box for the cigarette lighter and bought some 15A fuses which i am going to replace tomorrow, could something else be wrong?

fuses are supposed to blow before any of the wiring burns up, so based on what you've said, i'd think it's just a fuse too.

the two fuse boxes are one in engine bay, other lower left of driver side console, behind the cubby by the hood release.

and no i dont know which fuse to look for.

Just check every fuse cause sometimes it's the last fuse you'd expect

so much work, I didn't check last night, but I realize I got the wrong sizes for that fuse, and removing the small ones are a pain.

I guess I will take them all out and use a meter to check!

I don't know how it is in the '06 but in the '05 there's a little compartment right next to the hood release latch inside the car... just pop that out and there should be like 3 spare fuses and a plastic fuse puller... looks like tweezers kind of
