Cig lighter not working

Hello,

I was unfortunate enough to drop a USB lead into the front cig lighter last week and since then the socket has not functioned. There is a sign of an electrical burn mark on the USB plug so I am guessing I have simply blown a fuse.

Any pointers on where to find the fuse box, which fuse I am looking for and if I will be fortunate to find a spare in there?

Thanks

It's marked on the underside of the cover when you remove it, the one behind the Glove Box iirc, it's a mini blade type fuse.
