Default Cigarette Socket dead-stumped!

My cigarette socket below the radio is dead-can't charge my cell phone.

I ID'd the fuse by the drivers footwell and it was good, but changed it anyway. Any suggestions, is there another fuse that would control the socket?

Have you tried the one in the center console arm-rest thing?

is this while the car is running? Turn your key two clicks before ignition and see if it works.

Good thought, but no luck even with engine running, both sockets are dead.

Might just be a loose connection. This use to happen in my Odyssey all the time. Pull it out and check. They both may be running off the same wires and split somewhere.

Maybe it's just the charger itself? Try using a multimeter to see what kind of voltage you're getting at the cig plug.
