yea so i was vacuuming my car with one of those car vacs. it was plugged into the one underneath the navigation by the "ashtray." well i had some company come over so i shut off the carvac, and then the car. i hosted company, and when they left i went back to finish vacuuming, except the carvac didnt work anymore, so i thought it was just the carvac was the problem so i didnt think anything of it . later that week, i needed to charge up my cell, and i always have a car charger plugged into the power supply in the armrest, never took it off, i just let the wire hang out through the little whole. well i plugged in my phone, and few minutes later i checked the phone and it didnt charge at all. so i checked out both power supplies, and neither work.....is there something i can do to fix this myself? maybe something im forgetting to do? cuz i dont want to take the car to the dealer, or if i do it will be in a few thousand miles, and i need the power now....any help or suggestions appreciated thx

 

the key has to be set to accessory and if that doesnt help check your fuses

 

well i had it in accessory, so that cant be the problem. but how can i check if the fuse is blown? ill find the fuse that corresponds to the outlet and what do i do just take it out? and how would i know if it is blown out, will it be kinda like burnt? sorry for all these dumb questions...all this is new for me

 

oo nvm i found the section i need in the manual...thx though :-D

 

yea..its blown, do i go to the dealer? or can i get the fuse elsewhere?

 

there should be a spare fuse or you can pick them up and pretty much any automotive store, even walmart.

 

Whatever you do, don't take the one that says "back up". It's not a spare fuse, but rather the fuse for most of the electronic stuff inside the car. I learned from experience.

 

k thanks everyone, i just bought one at strauss
