Default Cigar Lighter Fuze Kill / Cigar ambient light kill

I don't smoke but thought what the heck, I will test the lighter to see how efficient it is. Well it didn't function. I looked into the lighter port and found a very small piece of foil or something. After checking the fuze I found that it had fried. Also the ambient light in the tray had stopped functioning.

Question: Is there a fuze assigned to the ambient cigar light?

I have corrected the problem and the lighter works, but no ambient light.

I don't think so; didn't know I had one! mine doesn't work either, but I can just see bulb hidden next to ash tray. Can't see any easy way to reach it without removal of consul cover!
So guess I will have to ignore it for now...........can't see it on any wiring diagram (just like my puddle lights). Not too happy with my AllData diagrams.
Are there better wiring diagrams out there for 2007's?

Looks to me like the cig lighter illumination is run off the same buss as the start button, ASL, and transmission selector illuminations. Are they out too?

Diagram shows it as a LED, not a bulb.
