Default 12 V Cigarette lighter Plug

My cigarette lighter plug was dead due to some cheap plug divider that I got off ebay...
I tried to change the fuse and it is still dead...

Does anyone know how to change it and where to find the parts ?
I have been unable to find the part at all....and the dealer is charging a fortune for that....

Also does anyone has any recommendation on any decent plug divider .. I only have one more plug left in the console box and I want to make sure that no cheap divider kill it...

if i were you, get that quote in writing, then call scion corporate and report them. ask them why is the dealer charging this much for a part that only costs 36 dollars msrp? would definetly light a fire under their butts.

I bought the little LED light that charges in the 12volt cigarette plug and put it in backwards one day and blew a fuse that killed my head unit.
