Fried Both 12v Sockets

[jimmmm]

I've got this funky iPhone charger that I think might have fried the 12V socket in a rental car a few months ago....should have thrown it out immediately....but hung on to it, and, sure enough, tonight I stupidly tried to use it in my Camry.....and both my cigarette lighter socket and the auxiliary socket in the cabinet between the seats are dead (I've tried plugging in chargers that I know to work).

Strangely, the "cigarette lighter" fuse under the dashboard is ok (I swapped in another fuse just to be sure, and nothing happened).

Any thoughts?

And, yes, I immediately threw away the funky charger (after cutting the cord apart with a scissors, to spare any potential trash can scavengers)

idk if there is another fuse like under the hood somewhere... i havent looked in any of my fuse boxes at all since i got my car but i feel like there could be another fuse under the hood and it might be fried

the fuse labled power socket is the one you popped (20amp).... i popped the same one using a crappy voltmeter checking for the powerside to those sockets. You can use the fuse from the "cig" slot. the "cig" fuse is not atached to anything, basically a spare. you can buy a replacement fuse from auto/zone. it a low profile mini fuse.

Oh, man....AWESOME.

You guys have saved me a lot of money today. I'm going to reinvest some of my savings into giving to this site right now.

Thanks so much everybody!
