Where is the in-door fuse panel?

I'm pretty sure I have blown a fuse when I inflated the tires with a pump that takes power from the cigar-lighter socket. Looked everywhere but don't find the in-door fuse panel. Have just got this car a few days ago and it didn't come with a manual. Can someone help on this? Thanks!

There are three fuse panels. None of them are in the doors. There is one in the glove-box. One to the left of the steering wheel, inside the dash. The third is under the hood. The fuse you are looking for is most likely in the glove-box.

Thanks "The Burning Rom". I tried to look for the fuse panel in the glove but found nothing. Did you mean the fuse panel is behind the glove box? Could you please be a little more specific in their locations and how to access?

To be honest, I've never even been in an Intrigue. But it is from the W-body family of GM cars, so I'd like to believe that the basic architecture is the same (or very close). If it is, the fuse panel in the clove box should be on the right side. There may be a plastic cover over it that has to be removed. It would not be located behind the glove-box...of course I shouldn't say NEVER. I've seen GM engineers do some strange things. :eek7:

When the passenger door is open, the panel to the fuse box is visible to the side of the glove box. The panel has a recess so you can fit a finger or two in to help you pry off the panel. This is according to the manual, which didn't come with my car either, so I bought one from HelmInc.com.

One large caveat, though. I blew a fuse earler (the one controlling the trunk release and, oddly enough, the reverse lights), located in the box under the hood. In the manual I read about the one located behind the glove box and, being curious, tried to access it. The blankety-blank cover wouldn't come off for anything! I assume I was being too gingerly with it. Has anyone been able to access this fuse box?

Thanks for the info about the location of the fuse panel. The only way to open it is to pull it in a hard jerk. They are designed to get open that way, and I did mine that way.
