Hello Everyone,

On my Ascent front and rear power outlet stopped working. Any suggestions or advice really appreciate.

Try checking fuse #2 in the fuse panel left of the steering wheel, that one is labeled Cigar on page 492 of the owners manual so I'm guessing it's for the 12 volt outlet.

I was wondering, if there a short circuiting in the wire. Since both outlet gone bad.

Was the fuse blown? That's the first step.

Yes fuse was blown, the culprit was phone charge. The charger that I have works in all car, but not in Ascent. I tested GPS also car vacuum all works fine so far. Hope it stays that way.

What are you plugging in? It's only 100W.

I think you mean the 12VDC power and not the 120VAC that is on some models, right?

I've had certain 12V plugs blow my car fuse (other cars in the past) if they have a fat or slightly wrapping positive terminal and can short out +/- when I plug them in. I've either tossed them, or inserted them carefully and just left them in there.

That cigarette lighter design isn't mankind's best engineering for power delivery.

F.S.
