No2 was fine so I swapped fuses and the cup holder outlet started working again. Bought new fuses to replace No1.

Somehow lost the No1 fuse when pulling it so I couldnt see if it was blown, obviously it was haha.

So the bigger question is what blew it in the first place?

glad problem solved.

I always replace it and check if it's working even fuse looks ok.
try that next time

Belated follow-up.... the dealer said that "cheap (e.g, non-OEM)" car chargers tend to blow fuse. Once I bought an "official" (i.e., more expensive) charger that was officially designated for my exact manufacturer's phone (Nokia), no more blown fuse....

I read this thread and chuckled at your comment.... then I checked. FUCKIN PENNY!

Important note: If i had changed the fuse before checking this, the fuse would have blown again immediately.

There are two fuse boxes. The blown fuse was the blue 15AMP pin point 1 in the interior fuse box located under the left side of the steering wheel.
