Power Outlet Is Not Working
 
So i havent use the power outlet since i got the car and today i tried to use it but it doesnt work, i tried different car chargers and even bought a new 12v one and then i found a fuse (i think) inside the power outlet and it doesn seem that it was attached to something when i found it and now i want to put it back and try to use the power outlet before going to the dealer tomorrow the only thing is i dont know how.. any help?

sorry for posting again, i found the other thread about this but it doesnt have the solution and seems like abandoned..

Have you tried the 12V outlet in the glove box? Or just the one in the centre console?

Might want to check the wiring or if you aren't comfortable with that, take it back to the dealer and get them to scope it out.

There should be, unless the USDM cars don't have them.

what in the world!!! i ddnt know about this i just checked it and there is really a power outlet and it also works! im so dumb lol
i think i know now why the power outlet in the cupholder doesnt work its because there was something stuck in there (i think it was a tip from the first car charger i tried because i inserted it and pull it because it was kinda hard to push all the way in and i thought that charger was broken when i pulled it because theres no tip lol)
Anyway how do i remove that thing from there? any step by step to remove the cup holder?

It's in the manual, but if you don't read the manual there's no way you would know it's there. It's impossible to see unless you're looking for it.

FYI, that power outlet in the glove box comes with a black plastic plug. That plug is also the exact size needed to plug the sound hole behind the carpet in the passenger side footwell, so that you're not piping intake noise into the cabin. A lot of people go out and buy one of those plugs for the sound hole, not realizing they already have one that fits perfectly.

Why would you need to remove the cup holder? Just reach in with some needle nose pliers and pull the piece out. This isn't a high tech issue!

ahhhhhh? its so tight i cant pull it with long nose because i can only grab a portion of that thing not to mention that the opening was only a quarter size
