12 v power not working, help as I can't use my satnav

[m4t_lee]

Hi all,

Plugged the sat nav in today and the light came on then went off again (I think)
Now the socket doesn't power anything I plug in. The devices charge in another car, the socket lights up and I've taken a look at the fuses and I can't see a blown on, fuse 24 I think.

Does anyone have any ideas please, sounds minor but it's quite annoying as now I can't charge my satnav or phone in the car

What year is your car mate?

Some 05s and earlier had fuse 28 as front power acc.
Have you tried a new fuse in 24?
Does the rear power socket in the boot work?

Also it's common for 1p coins causing this issue by getting in there from the ashtray - this may be worth a read:-

As above - the wife can confirm!!!
Also, some cars seem to be ignition switched power, other not,

Hi all, sorry for the late reply I've only just seen your replies. I've just tested and the one in the boot doesn't work either. There's a 15 amp fuse in 42 which looks ok and I've swapped for the one in 41 and still no joy. It's an 06 and doesn't have a rear 12v just front and boot. Any other suggestions chaps?

Aaaah sussed it. Mine is an 06 and fuse 28 had blown which is a 20amp. All good now. many thanks for your help and taking the time to post :-) :-)
