so the cigarette lighter/outlet located under the main display in my '07 gs 350 awd doesnt work. whenever i plug a charger into it, my radar detector, or even the cigarette lighter into it, thye all don't work. also at about the same time the outlet stopped working, the subwoofer i have hooked up in the trunk (connected to the battery under the front hood) stopped receiving power as well.
does anyone know what's wrong or how i could solve this problem? should i take it back to the dealer to check it out?
One of two things may have happened here. 1) A fuse blew out or 2) The actual plug behind the cigarette lighter managed it's way loose. With your sub hooked up in the trunk, it's most likely you have a blown fuse. You can check in the manual to locate the blown fuse for the cigarette lighter/accessory relay.
If all else fails, take it in to the service dept if you're unsure. You may want to remove your aftermarket subwoofer also.
