I had accidentally shorted out the front 12v socket
when I rested a the tip of plastic pen in there.
That socket is the one located between the front seats.
The other sockets in the back of the central pod are fine.
I have been unable to find a listing for the fuse
in the manual or find any blown fuse by inspection
in any of the 3 fuse pods

I thought that there may be an InLine fuse somewhere?
Or am I just missing one in one of the fuse pods?
I am wondering if anyone else has had that problem?

Have you stopped by your local dealer and asked?

I did review the car manual and found that there is a logical pattern to the organization of the fuse boxes and that there were some that were not listed in the manual. So after some deduction I found the fuse at Position D4 in the Rear Fuse Panel in the trunk.

The Dealer was very difficult I was not able to talk to anyone knowledgeable, and no help other than uninspired comments on how complex these cars are these days and trying to get me to bring in the car for a service Appointment! That was not on my menu for a fuse replacement.

Thank all of you trying to be helpful

Same thing happened to me. The fuse blew and I had to bring it to the dealer. Maybe Audi wasn't very smart putting the only front power socket right between the cup holders where the condensation from a drink is bound to drip inside and short it out? Maybe a little hinged cover would be a good update since most people use the socket for charging phones and not lighting cigarettes. Are you listening Audi?

How many power sockets are in the car? just they one between the cup holders and the one in the rear?
