Default electrical problem - rear view mirror power

Hey everyone,
So I tackled fixing my cigarette lighter as it had no power. Found out someone had put a bigger fuse in because the right one kept blowing. Well that fried the wire which killed the power. Curiously the rear view mirror still had power and the compass and home link and automatic dimmer still worked.

To fix the cigarette lighted I clipped the wire coming out of the fuse box to run a new one to the cig. lighter for power. Works great now. However, now my mirror/compass/home link do not have power any more. I searched around the RAVE and couldn't find a diagram of how these are powered. Can anyone help me? Do I need to run a new power line to these? Or can I splice into the one used to power the cigarette lighter now?

I am going to guess that you cut the wrong wire, the one for the rv mirror instead of the one for the lighter. They could be on the same circuit. I am not sure of that, but that should be easy to figure out by reading your manual.
