12V Cigarette Adapter not working...?

I have an 05 NBP TL w/ Navi....

The cigarette adapter is not working that is located in the center "glove box." The one up front underneath the radio controls works fine. Is there something I am missing? Any advice or help would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

I'm not certain the wiring of this outlet or what it's grouped with, but I'd bet you either have a blown fuse, or the outlet itself is bad (happens often from high usage, terminals loosen up, etc).

DIY or dealer, you make the call.

If you are electrical savy and feel confident locate the fuse in the fuse box and replace it yourself, rather simple. It's probably a spade fuse and any auto parts store carries many amperage fuses. Then again, take some time out of your day and get it into the Dealer and enjoy some starbuck's coffee and check your email maybe they'll even loan you an RDX or MDX for this warranty claim.

its a 15 amp fuse, it should be near the driver foot area of the car. It is a slide out cover and everything is labeled. BTW, Keanu's mrs. T, your avatar is awesome

Definitely covered, but easy enough to investigate/change yourself. If you can live without it til your next visit to the dealer, let them fix it!
