All 3 Cig Ligher Sockets Shorted, It's NOT #17 Fuse!

I've got a Ford/Mazda B-4000 (Same as a Ranger XLT 4x2 ExtraCab) and I unfortunately momentarily shorted the bottom 'fold out' lighter socket when I was trying to get a broken USB adapter cell phone charger out of the socket. Now All Three of these sockets (one is the Accessory power port) in the Dash board are dead and it's not the #17 25Amp Fuse!

Is there a "thermal inline fuse" somewhere else in the dash somewhere, besides #17 fuse??

All help greatly appreciated.

It's NOT the 50A in the Power Control box. I SAID only ALL the 3 Sig Sockets are dead .... that 50A would knock out the radio, dash lights etc ..... which all work.
