Default Cig lighter not working?

I’m trying to wire my dash cam, and it seems like the cig lighter power isn’t working. The center console one is working
though. How do I fix it?

I just received the 2007 IS250 today and started putting stuff in the car, everything is where it needs to be, but the power is inoperable in the cigarette lighter. Driving it is so much fun though, I can’t wait to do stuff to this car!

Check the fuses, front passenger side under the glove compartment.

Fortunate enough, the fuse did blow! I looked at the cars previous service history and found out that the previous owner had already had the dealer replace the fuse back in 2010. I swapped the 15 fuse from the 12V in the console to the cig lighter, since that’s where I needed most. Thanks for everyone’s help!

I could if I want, but it’s not important to me yet. So in the meantime, I’m just taking the fuse from the center console. No big deal right?

Def not a big deal. Just personally I can't stand anything being wrong with my cars. I'm the type of person that fixes everything right away. I have OCD about that lol
