When I first got my Jeep 2 months ago, I was tinting my windows outside tried had a cheapo power converter (dc/ac) plugged into the auxilary power adaptor (left side) plugged a hair dryer into it...needless to say the hairdryer didn't work...but now the adaptor doesn't work...

Any idea as to how I should go about fixing it.?

 

Did you check and/or replace the fuse for the outlet?

 

Left side only works when the Jeep is running if I remember correctly. If that isn't the problem, Robar's solution is your best bet.

 

haven't checked fuse..was gonna just let the dealer look at it on my next service....but I read another post earlier that someone else burnt out the socket on his...so I figured I should fix it myself...cuz if it is burnt then they are gonna point the finger about me....and prolly questions any other claim in the future

 

does it looked burned? probably just a fuse

 

you are correct i use the right one all the time to charge the .mp3 player while im at work...left one only works while the acc position on the ignition column is used

 

Problem solved lol

 

A hair dryer is a major power hog. Turn it on inside and watch the lights dim slightly. I'm guessing you blew a fuse at the speed of light trying to run it on an inverter...

 

still haven't had a chance to check it out...since I'm still at the office and extremely bored I think I'll go check it out right now.

 

I've been having the same exact problem with my month-old wrangler x. the right outlet works fine at all times, but the left one never does, even when the car is running.

I looked in the manual and for outlets 1 and 2, the fuses are m6 and m7 in the fuse box. both of these were fine on mine.

outlet 3 is on m36, and that fuse was fine too. i don't even think i have an outlet 3 because i have a 2-door.

the only other thing i can think of is that maybe it wasn't wired up since i didn't get the smoker's package. if anyone else out there had the same problem, please let me know. i don't want to rip apart the outlet to see if it's wired if i don't have to.
