Default Cigarette lighter - Blown Fuse?

Car 200 20v

I had someone in my car force the cigarette lighter in. It was not going in like it normally would and a quick tap from the palm of the hand and it went in. It did not come out and now my radio, interior lights and the LCD displays on the Instrument Cluster do not work. The IC still lights up and so does the LCD area where the Trip Computer displays info but I get nothing for info.

I'm assuming I've got a blown fuse and it needs to be changed but which one? Also, I have whats left of the lighter out but do I need to check something in there in terms of a short so the new fuse doesn't blow instantly?

TIA

Default Check Fuse #5

I know on my V8, the fuse that runs the radio, interior lights, and LCD display for the trip computer are on the same fuse. Um.. #5, I think.

Default Changed fuse 4... all is well.

I just wasn't sure if there was something to check inside the lighter itself that I needed to get unstuck. BTW that yellow fuse puller thing is awesome! Certainly came in handy pulling that sucker out in this 8 degree weather.
