Default 12V outlet in center console not working?

So today I plugged in a cellphone charger into the 12v outlet...no light came up. There was no charge. It worked fine yesterday and every single time until this morning. I don't often use this, but Is there anything I can do at the moment to fix this? The cigarette outlet works fine.

Check your fuses. Mine went out too after installing my accuair, I just haven't looked at the fuses to fix mine.

i have the same problem, as well as my visor mirror lights not turning on. i checked the fuses and they all seemed ok, maybe its one of the missing slots where the fuse should be, but who knows.

Mine went out as well. It was the fuse. Its under the front passenger leg space by the right knee. Its a 15amp very small flat fuse-no spares in my car anywhere had to go get one at Autozone.

Its in the manual under CIG, towards the end of the chapter.

Most likely the fuse.

Very cheap and extremely easy to fix

Are you sure it is not just the charger's cig connector itself? I've had an ipod USB cig adapter charger in mine for months and one day I noticed my ipod wasn't charging. Thought it was the cable ($2 from China, no joke) and purchased another one. Got it and the new cable didn't change a thing. Removed the cig charger adaptor and re-inserted, plugged ipod into it, started charging. Meh. who knows.
