Check with a voltmeter at each socket if there is power coming to them, they all should have 12V.

As they are on different fuses, my suspicion is that the item you are plugging in isn't making proper contact. Some of the plugs have a center pin that is a tad too short, so even though it is plugged in it doesn't make contact.

all of the fuses are okay. Checked from the voltmeter but if i check the lighter socket from the voltmeter it shows 0 or 1v nothing more than it.

Is there any relay or something i should look for
or any other fuse which might be linked to this?

Kinda weird all 4 do not work

thank you for the link apparently they all look fine. No such signs

is there any relay or any other fuse which might be linked to this? I’m assuming there’s some sort of power break because they all don’t work
