Accessory port


My friend tried to plug a cell phone carger into the cigarette ligther, after i had told him not to, had trouble getting it in so he tried the accessory port, which had been working like five minutes before. It no longer works, so the next day i got to looking at it and there was a penny in the cigarette lighter that got jammed even further down into it after he tried to force the charger in. So my question is, does anyone have a wiring guide for a 1995 v6 mustang? because i've got a hunch it might have just blown an inline fuse (if there is one). Any suggestions and a wiring guide will be appriciated. Thanks for your time Also do you think i should try and fix this myself or should i just take it to the dealership to get them to fix it?

definitely a starting point. but a dead short could have heated the wire causing it to melt its insulation and desolder its self from the back of the port. also lucky u didnt have a fire.
