Fuse #9 feeds the power outlet and fuse #18 feeds the lighter outlet. They are both located in the fuse box in the trunk, next to the battery. If you open the trunk and lift the floor up you'll see them hiding under there. The numbers should be called out on the cover for the fuse box.

Have you checked BCM input parameter BI61? That is the most common cause of the 2-3 day battery drain. Have you tried pulling fuse #8 under the ash tray for the CPS to see if that stops the drain? You can pull one of the plugs off the AC blower control module to isolate that. If you can not hear the blower motor running with the key off, that probably is not an issue.

Hi
have you tried both the one in the ashtray and the other side of the console and they both will blow the fuse
if so what ever you are plugging in is shorted
try a known good cigarette lighter or something that works in another vehicle
hope this helps let me know

Take wires out of cigaret lighter , then replace fuse , if fuse stays ok without cigaret lighter connected then something shortning lighter inside.

Ford calls them power points, if you are not talking about the one just above the ash tray ( that is the cigar lighter ).

Instrument panel power point ( to the right of the radio / HVAC center panel ) : Fuse # 39
Cigar lighter : Fuse # 41

There is also a power point in the rear of the SuperCrew & SuperCab cab configurations, and if installed, there can also be a power point in the overhead console ( think that is the rail system )

The fuses are located behind the ash tray... pull it out and look on the back of the ash tray...may have a diagram on the back of the tray... let me know how you do.

2 fuses to check in the interior fuse panel no 39 and no 41 both are 20 amp fuses.

I had the same problem on my '97. I ended up taking out the lighter when I was replacing the LCD on the radio, only to find that somehow it had become disconnected. Not sure how it happened but it might be worth checking out to see if it wiggled loose. To get to the lighter: 1) Prior up the cover by the shifter (the one that also goes back to the seat heater). It is connected with snaps so pry slowly. 2) Once the panel is removed you will see screws that are holding in the ash tray/cig lighter. Unscrew those and the whole lighter/ash tray can be pulled out. It is also held in by snaps on the top.
