Default Centre arm rest 12V charger not working

Others chargers are working.

What could be the problem?

How much is the replacement?

Could be a loose socket. I have seen a few of these. It just need to be tightened.

Assuming that you mean the power outlet, check the fuse first.

It is probably the fuse. It's located in the trunk.

The fuse location is identified in the owners manual

I replaced one today. It's in fuse bank "B", third or fourth fuse from the rear, 20 amp (at least in the A7). Page 274 in my owners manual.
