Saint Lighter
Yeah it is 15 Amps. Located (on 98) 3down empty 2nd one is the 15 Amps cig. lighter fuse. I know because I had to replace is 4 times. I bought a lighter from Autozone or Strauss (dont remeber) and tested it out.. And my fuse dyed over and over.. I dunno must have been made by the Devil!!!
BTW, I am selling this lighter for best price offered. It's got a dice as a 'head'?
Will post picture later...

I have the same problem. 1998 Maxima SE. Something isn't right. Every time when I push the cigarette lighter in the fuse burns. Then I'd replace the fuse and can use my GPS unit or any other devices no problem. When I use cig lighter it burns the fuse right away. Any ideas?

yeah i think mine is messed up too. i have to wire up a switch and it says. ground/load/power. i tapped(didnt cut just removed insulation and soldered) into the orange/black wire. put the ground to a bolt under the dash near the hood release. i didnt hook up the load but the switch should light up as it is right? maybe i did it wrong but where is another place i can get 12v ignition from if the cig lighter doesnt work... thanks

Did you do any testing? Check for power at the lighter itself, check the fuse, anything?
Or do you think it's not getting power based on a switch that may or may not work? Are you sure you wired up the switch correctly?
Do you want ignition switched B+, or accessory? The cig lighter is ACC, not IGN. There are a thousand places in the car you could get it from, just need to break out a multimeter.

It's not just for using the actual cig lighter, the socket has a lot of other uses as well, all of which are useless if it doesn't work.
