Help with 12v outlet power issue...

[eric woods]

2005 Escalade, cigarette lighter in center console got a penny in it and quit working. I can't find a blown fuse in any of the spots the manual tells me to look. I checked "aux power" in drivers side dash panel and "aux power2" in the under the hood box. Can't find anything labeled "lighter". Can anyone help?

Did you put a multimeter on the wiring and see if it even gets signal?

Sounds silly but are you sure its the lighter and not the 12v power outlet? They do run off seperate circuits. You may have one bad and checking the other. Auxillary power outlet console, cigarette lighter. Two seperate fuses in my 2006 Tahoe.
