08 fx2 12v and cigarette lighter issues
Recently I picked up this new truck. Everything works great except the center cigarette lighter, 12v on passanger side, and the rear 12v. I've checked all the fuses, still can't seem to find anything out. Any input would be great. Thanks!

Remove the center radio trim bezel, and check the wiring. This is a common spot for folks to tap off of for other "accessories" that require power.

I actually do have a parrot Bluetooth in there. It has a small box hooked up to the CIG lighter there. But its just tapped into. Should still work, would that be why none of them work? Including the one in the back?

Could be, and more than likely the OBD II port is dead. They all get power off of one fuse (don't have my owners manual handy to check the fuse number for you). If you search here, you'll find the fuse that powers the OBD II port, plus the CIG lighter/Accessory port.

I'll try testing the obd port. If thats it I'll likely just run the Bluetooth to the spare fuse, I'd think that should fix my issue
