Both cigarette outlets are dead, why?

[Doc99SS]

I have checked all fuses in both fuse boxes in the engine bay,,, all are good. Why would both cigarette (power points) be dead all of a sudden? Both had power on one drive, next drive they are dead. The car is a 1999 Camaro SS.

Have you checked the fuses in the dash??

that was my first guess, there is one for it i'm pretty sure.

Yes there is one for it. The ones under the hood are the primary systems and high draw circuits. The lighter outlets are fused or on a breaker, What can happen is that as they are used small shavings can short our on the hot and ground terminals. blow them out or stick a magnet in them, power odd of course. See if that fixes it.

Check the CIG/ACCY fuse inside the car.

Thank you. I have not checked the cabin fuses, forgot they were even there.

I think that my radar detector shorted out some how. The detector works in other cars. So it must be the fuse in the cabin is blown. I will need to find out why the detector shorted out the fuse.
