Default cigarette lighter

It seems that my 3 outlets ( one being the cigarette lighter) are dead. Don't smoke and tend not to use the outlets regularly on this 1996 4.3 blazer with 135,000 mi. Anyone know which fuse it's on? I will also check wiring when it warms up here (mid 30's ).
Is this a common problem ? Hoping for an easy fix so I can recharge a cell phone. thanks for all responses.

I would open the fuse panel right by the drivers door, and start looking at the fuses that are dashboard related...GM usually couples multiple items with no relation to each other onto one circut. ? the radio / dashboard light / accessory fuses?

thanks; i thought the same thing, but all electric devices seem to work. I was hoping the 3 outlets would be on a dedicated circuit. Still too cold to look at it.

Check the PWR AUX fuse (I think it's #7). This powers the DLC connector as well as the power ports.

It is probably a 20 amp one so that should make it a little easier. Came across this, so it looks like its under the hood.

I have a 2001 Chevy Blazer and the two accessory plugs are not working. I have checked all fuses in cabin and they look ok. My cigarette plug works fine and do not seem to have any issues with any other items on car not working. Any help as to what I could check for? There is nothing in the plug sockets either, just no juice.
