03 E320 Cigarette Lighter fuse?
Amazingly enough, the manual does not tell me where the fuse is located for the cigarette lighter socket located below the radio. I looked in the fuse panel on the drivers side dash and in the trunk and cant seem to see a fuse that has blown. I am guessing the lighter socket is not working due to a bad fuse, anyone know how to change it? Any other reasons that the socket is not working?

Yes, in engine compartment (left side), fuse #1 and #6. In MB cigar lighter only works when key is on.
I think you have a W211 if it's a sedan. W210 only goes thru 2002.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. My E320 has a fuse map inside of the fuse compartment located at the drivers side dash. Looking through the list of fuses, there is not a fuse location that specifically calls out the cigarette lighter. Also, there is no reference to a fuse box under the hood, just the dash board and trunk.
There is a courtesy light ring around the cigarette lighter that is operable but there is no power coming from the socket - with or without the key in the ignition. We use the lighter socket to operate an Ipod FM transmitter and continues to not operate while the vehicle is running.
