    My 12V cigarette lighter/adapter under the dashboard is not working. I checked the fuse labeled "Power Outlet" and it's fine. My 12V adapter inside the center console slidy thing (between passenger & driver) still works.

    So... I've eliminated - I think - that it's a fuse issue, assuming those are on the same circuit. What else could it be?

    They are NOT on the same circuit so there is another fuse.
    And the one up front is hot only when the ignition is ON......accessory mode or ready mode.

    oh, thanks! I'll try to keep looking.

    no problem if it's only live when car is on... perfect for a dash cam.
