Default Cigarette lighter/power adapter doesn't work. Blown Fuse?

I have a 2004 A8L and seem to have blown a fuse. Both front and rear cigarette lighters don't work. I went into the fuse panel and couldn't find a blow fuse or which fuse corresponded to the cigarette lighters for that matter. I need to use an Ipod and cell phone charger soon. I can't stand just using the one in the trunk. Can someone help? Which fuse? Where located?

Thanks for the help.

Pete

Default 20 amp Fuse for front #36 and 20 amp Fuse for rear #37 located

in the fuse panel to the right of the glove box. Open the glove box which will allow you to pull open the fuse panel cover to the right. (with the passenger door open) The fuse #'s and location are listed on the cover when removed. These two 20 amp fuses are in the center row at the bottom of the block.....

Fuse locations will be different between D2 and D3.

There is one possibility and that someone used a cheap chinese cig lighter plug and bent the hell out of the contacts. If that is the case, then pull the fuse and carefully bend the contacts back into place.
