I couple of weeks ago my family and I took a little road trip to Atlanta. During the trip my sons used their portable DVD player which plugged into the rear seat power outlets. Everything worked out fine. This past weekend I noticed the power outlets in the rear seat no longer work and the one in the trunk is dead also. While strangely the two in front work just fine.
My first thought was that I have a blown fuse. I tried locating a blown fuse by pulling and examining each of the 30 amp fuses but saw no problems. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

If all fuses are ok, not sure what's next. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the helpful advise. I guess I didn't read the manual very carefully or I skipped the part that spoke of the fuse panel in the trunk.
Anyway the sockets work now. Thanks again.

Yep it was the fuse which I had suspected all along but was just not aware that more fuses are located in the trunk. Fuse # 88 is a 20 amp fuse located in the trunk.
