HA! another improvement for '03 I guess.

My '02 Sonoma came with a cigarette lighter in the pull down ashtray compartment and two accessory plugs under the dash.

As for the fuse blowing, I have no idea. But, I've used a million candle power spot light plugged into one of my acc plugs with no problems whatsoever. Sounds to me like you've got a short somewhere. Should be covered by warranty.

It seems silly that they would remove a cheap little part like the lighter in the models after 01. Mine came stock.
