1997 Mazda B4000, fuse 17 is good but no power to cigarette lighter. What now?

What is your question?

There is a cigarette lighter and two 12v accessory sockets all fed by purple/blk wire with no power at any time, regardless of ignition switch position. Wiring diagram in Chilton and Haynes has no reference to fuse 17 (fuse tests good on ohmmeter).

Gee, I should have thought of that, seriously! I was so focused on under-dash wiring (I had, indeed tested all of the fuses in the fuse panel located on the left side of the dash) that I had forgotten all about the fuse box in the engine compartment - Doh! Replaced a 30A fuse and all is well in 'truckdom'. I had not recognized it on the fuse box data, the protected circuit is called "Power Point" and I hadn't realized that this fed the 12v accessory outlets (I forgive me, I'm old). Thanks for the kick-start. Take care, Be Safe.
