12 volt plugs on dash where is the fuse?

Have 2 12 volt plugs on the dash. The one toward passenger side stopped working, I haven't been able to locate the fuse.

Circuit breaker probably behind the panel in front of the pass seat

Looks like #29 is a start battery powered breaker for one of the two on the dash.  The other two on circuit breaker #44 are house powered for the other dash 12v dash outlet and the one next to the pass seat.

Is that why my plug in gauges read different voltages?

Roger I really appreciate your quick responses and wiring diagram. I checked the circuit breakers and they checked good. Then I did what I should have started with, I went back to the plug and had hot there but no ground. I then tried to figure out why after un plugging ground wire from plug the wire had ground. I plugged it back on then checked plug again. It worked perfectly evidently the ground was not making good contact with the plug (even though it looked ok). I took the long way around to figure it out. I consider this a learning opportunity.

Learning is a good thing.  A good digital multimeter is an essential tool for tracking down electrical issues.  And always start with the most obvious thing first, usually saves some time.
