12 volt outlet just stopped working?

BMWUltimateDriv3r · 03-12-2013, 08:37 PM

Anyone know the likely cause? Covered by CPO?

Obvious response but did you check the fuse box?
As far as I know not covered by CPO...

I replaced a friends 330 fuse and that solved his problem with the outlet. Check that first.

+1 on the fuse part. My subs turned off and the 12v turned off. I then replaced the fuse and everything went back to perfect

I can second this!....the cheapo chargers, when pushed into place bend...eventually they short out because the wires inside actually touch and begin to burn!

Took one apart and found out why it was blowing the fuse when I pushed it into the receptacle.....the wiring was not insulated properly and actually melted.
