Unhappy 2001 S500V front lighter fuse issue...where is the fuse for it?

My front cigarette lighter where I plug my cell phone has stopped working. and the local Benz shop says that to track down exactly what fuse controls the cigarette lighter will be about $300.bucks...I don't think that is right....does anyone out there know what fuse belongs to the front Cigarette lighter in a 2001 S500v?
thanks

$300 to track down the fuse? That's funny! (Considering theres a fuse diagram in the trunk...)

The fuse should be in the passenger side fuse box (end-cap to your dashboard) on a 2005 it's fuse #86 and is 15A.

And see the fuse diagrams at http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w220...e-chart-2.html and http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w220...001+fuse+chart if you don't find your paper diagram. They should be similar to yours, perhaps enough to find the problem.
