Hello,

Just noticed that I have no power in both power sockets behind the center console. The front cigarette lighter works fine. I found a cigarette lighter fuse in the trunk, but I guess it only controls the front cigarette lighter and not the rear power sockets. Can somebody tell me what to look for and where else to look?

Thanks!

If I remember it right, there are two separate fuses in the trunk for center console power sockets.

I checked that...I looked for wording like "center", "console" , "sockets" but couldn't find it. I'll checka again.

Holy crap! I checked again and lo and behold I saw "Sockets" fuse 88! How did I miss that?! Anyway, I broke the hymen on the double sealed spare fuse baggie from the trunk accessories box and changed the 20A fuse and it works again. Now everything works on my E60 as it should! (knock on wood).

Thanks!

test the wire by the sockets.. if it has power ur sockets is not good, but if it don`t show any power it surely a fuse , test the fuse also
