Fuse number 17 is a 30 Amp fuse for the cigarette lighter.
17 is no the top row second from the left.

review f.b cover

The fuse you are looking for is in the fuse panel inside the vehicle to the left of the steering wheel down by the brake pedal. Below is a diagram of the fuse layout and I have marked the fuse you are wanting to check (number 23). Hope this helps....

Change out the cigarette lighter as it has shorted out

It sounds like it will be a fuse, it is unlikely to be a coincidence that the cigarette lighter is not function as well. One fuse probably covers both these items, replace that fuse and they should both work once more.

had the same problem changed the lcm (lighting control module) problem solved bought it on e-bay for $110 dollars. :)
That module is $435 from lincoln. Good Luck!

It is probably the accessory fuse.. Find the location in your manual and check it and replace it it.. If its not the fuse - its the actual lighter - the hand held part.. You can find a replacement at most auto part stores..

Have a great day !

In the fuse box under the dash on the left side of the steering column. I believe it a 30 Amp fuse but I forget the position number. It is also the fuse for the engine code reader plug.

either the element is burned out on the lighter or you have a blown fuse, look in owners manual for location of the fuse and check it or replace
