Interior lights/Horn/cigarette lighter stopped working

I did a search and believe it could be an "ACC" fuse...however, I opened up the fuse panel under the drivers side dash, and there are no labels or anything...Could someone tell me which fuse it is

Thank you!

Hm on second thought, I just read some thread that it should be labelled near the fuse...I'll go down later and see if "ACC" is labelled.

its the number 20 fuse under the fuse panel... i think there are like 3 or 4 number 20 fuses.. just take each one out and look at which one is burnt out... replace that one with another 20 fuse and it will come back on... it should be on the bottom left hand side... that fuse bascially controls all the power functions inside including the ones your talking about...

The link above "should" eliminate searching for a blown fuse.

Re: Interior lights/Horn/cigarette lighter stopped working

When I bought my Camaro, the horn/lights/lighter weren't working either. Hopefully it was an old fuse for you, because I had to replace the horn and lighter for the fuse to stop frying.
