Guys, I need your help. Before going to the dealer, I was wondering if anyone had past experience power outtage in their A/C jacks. The cigarette lighter power source does not work, the one near the passenger's foot does not work and also the two plugs in the back does not work.

Is it due to a dead fuse?

Thanks.

Could be. Check page 188 of the manual (http://www.e60.net/information/2005_..._Manual_US.pdf) for locations of fuses. The fuse cover should have a map of what all the fuses control.

From Pg. 188
In glove compartment
1. Release both quick-release fasteners.
2. Fold the cover forward or remove.

In luggage compartment
1. Lift up floor mat.
2. Release the quick-release fastener of the right side panel and pull out the panel.

I had the same problem and it was indeed a dead fuse.

Yeah dead fuse. Fuse box in the trunk like "myfootsmells" said. It's a 20 amp i believe.
