this isse just randomly started up one day, i noticed my GPS stopped charging and died and relized ther was no power comming out of the aux port it was plugged into, the cigg lighter also had no power, the fuse that is labled ACC i belive it was was blown and sticking another one in there it will blow it, the wierd thing is I am pretty sure my line lock and cutout run off the same power wire and they still work, I also noticed a few months later my OBD2 port does not work when I tried to read a check engine code so i assume this is all wired together.

Where should I start looking and any tips on tracking this down? ground issue maybe? everything else on the car works just fine eletrical

i had the same problem in my z, what was wrong with mine was the cigarette lighter, for some reason it was causing my fuse to blow. Just leave the cigg lighter off or dont place it all the way in there and you should't blow your fuse no more.

Yup Problem solved it was the cigg lighter causing it, I assume it is the piece that it plugs into because nothing will charge in it even with everything else working now. Is there a fix for this can I just replace it? its not that big of a deal but just wondering if the fault is there or wiring somewhere

i really don't know, i just never plug it in cause i got tire of changing fuses lol plus i don't smoke and our cars are none smokers, to charge stuff i just use the other plug.
