Default Please Help

I pluged in a portable DVD player in my power outlet today and I was not getting any power to the dvd...I pluged in both the cigarette adapter and adapter where you rest the hand in the middle...I was unable to get power from both of these places. I also tried to light cigarette lighter to see if that was working and that did not work either...please let me know if there is a fuse or something that went out, I don't want to take it to the dealer ship, they will charge me an arm leg...please help. Thanks.

I would try to plug in a difference item (radar detector, etc) to see if it powers up that. If it doesn't then you probably have a burned out fuse which needs replacement.

yea I saw it in the book, it states to buy 15 amphere fuse and I still can't figure out where fuse #16 is located, I think its underneath the stearing wheel somewhere, i have to look at it 2nite. If anyone know where the fuse box is located under the stearing wheel, that would save me the trouble...tx.

I was looking for this at night but I still feel stupid, I can't find the Driver's side kick panel fuse box...Is it located inside the hood or underneath the steering wheel...as you can tell I am new to this stuff. Someone please help.

The driver side kick panel is on the wall next to your left foot. Look around that area and up under the dash on the left. Good luck.
