You sure it's not the inflator? There might be a fuse inside the plug on the inflator end.Denboy wrote:I used a 12 volt tyre inflator from one of the power sockets, the tyre got to 29psi, the inflator started making a funny noise then went off, now the socket doesn't work, I tried it on another socket and the same happened, I have checked the fuses and they look ok, what else could it have done to cause this?
Yeah, I tried other devices, satnav, phone charger, nothing worksssobol wrote:You sure it's not the inflator?

Thanks but I removed all fuses one by one and put a tester on them, all the fuses are oksmj999smj wrote:The fact that you were using something that could place a high load on the circuit AND that both power sockets are not working suggests to me that there is a blown fuse for the power sockets.
Looking at a wiring diagram, it looks like the fuse is a 20A fuse located in a fuse box (in the engine compartment) with the accessory relay. There should also be two other, 10A fuses near it, one for the door mirrors and the other for multiple systems, including ADP, audio system, BCM and defogger.
I found a third fuse box under the bonnet, changed the 20 amp fuse, now all working, thanks for your timeDenboy wrote:Good point, I am getting someone in to check it out, many thankssmj999smj wrote:But is there power at the fuse? If there is, you'll have to get a wiring diagram from the factory service manual and trace the power from the fuse to the socket.
