If you do not have a blown fuse. Look at this link and it will tell you what size fuse goes where. If you are missing a fuse you can replace it with the right size fuse. I do not see cigarette lighter on the list. https://www.autogenius.info/ford-escape-2008-2012-fuse-box-diagram/
Find a web site that has a fuse panel diagram there are some here but i've had better luck using google when you find the right year make and model download pdf file you want take it out to the car so if on desktop print them its usually a pic of the panel and a list. Each location is numbered and what its for with correct fuse size. when you are looking at the fuse box some empty spots have tabs of metal in them usually thats where a fuse goes they will be numbered slide in fuse between metal tab any size pair of needle nose pliers will help with this task. check your referance sheet 2 an 3 timers to ensure the right size fuse in the right spot..with that being said if you have a fuse that is blowing every time u can put in the next size up if its a 15 try a 20 if that blows go 25 ...i have not had to use any more then 10 amp over what it called for most of the time 5 more does it ..of course the dealer wont recommend this most shop will say its ok but any thing over 10 amps you should the electrical system look at by a reputable shop
Just want to suggest that if you do not have an owners manual in your glove box then you really should pick one up at the dealership.It will have the fuse layout in it along with a lot of other valuable information.
Located in the fuse box use below the steering wheel is the fuse box once you remove the cover it indicates the item and the fuse amp needed in that location, the most common size is 10 amp, 15 amp, 20, amp 25 amp, and some require a 30 amp
For fuse placement, the fuse box cover may have a diagram on it which indicates what fuse goes where, with initials for it's component(s); as well as the size required. If there is not a diagram, look in the owners manual (if available in car still). If not, go to an auto part store and purchase a book. I recommend a CHILTON as it is more detailed. (fairly cheap usually) parts stores vary. These books will also have a complete wiring diagram of the entire wiring system in the car. Start with the fuse box cover first. It should have the diagram. Also, if equipped, check under the hood, usually located near/behind the batter, for fuse/relay box. Check that all fuses and relays are securely installed there as well. DO NOT remove any fuses or relays while the car is on, ignition is in the ACC position, or while the battery is connected as you can cause shorts and blown fuses or relays while uninstalling or installing fuses and relays. This applies to the fuse box in the car as well. I hope that this information deems useful as well as solving your fuse issue.
