Exclamation Front cigarette lighter not working

Hi All
My Front cigarette lighter isn't working, which is a pain as I need to use it for phone charging/ipod.
I've looked online, and there are a few suggestions with pics, and the fuse diagrams shown have a picture of a "cigarette" so easily identifiable; mine however, has not picture of a cigarette, so I'm at a loss as to what fuse im looking for to check, and replace if needed. Any advice please??

**** I have located a previous thread which mentioned could be F44 fuse; I have replaced this and still nothing :-(
Here's a pic of mine

I have exactly the same problem, I've checked fuse #44 as directed by various other sites etc and nothing, check inside the connector as well and nothing I can which would stop it from working, anyone any ideas ?

I too have this exact same set up on my 2012 Mini Cooper...need to positively identify the lighter/cigarette fuse. The manual is of no help whatsoever.

my cigarette lighter was not working and fuse cover was the same as above. When I checked my fuse panel I noticed I was missing fuse 38 and installed a 15amp fuse in and my cigarette lighter began working. I also noticed I had a 15amp fuse in spot F37 that shows its unused on the fuse cover and pulled it to check the fuse it was good maybe been a bad connection there before pulling fuse and reinstalling it. I did that before putting a fuse in F38 Hope this help. You can tell if a fuse goes some place if it has the holder in both slots for the fuse blade.

On the 67 Mini, throw away the stupid diagram that bears no relation to the fuse board. It is a yellow 20 amp on the left hand side of the fuse board, 3 or 4 down. Hope this helps.

Just shorted out my cig lighter and #44 was definitely the right fuse.
