Solution

1. Preparation

Gather tools and materials necessary for the job.
Tools Required:
- Fuse puller or needle-nose pliers
- Multimeter
- Replacement fuses (check manual for correct amperage)
Ensure the vehicle is turned off and parked on a level surface.

2. Locate the Fuse Box

Open the driver's side door.
Remove the cover of the fuse box, located under the dashboard on the driver’s side.
If applicable, also check the under-hood fuse box.

3. Inspect and Remove the Blown Fuse

Identify the fuse for the power outlets using the diagram on the fuse box cover or in the owner's manual.
Use the fuse puller or needle-nose pliers to carefully pull the fuse out of its socket.
Check the fuse visually; if the metal strip inside is broken or burnt, the fuse is blown.

4. Replace the Fuse

Obtain a new fuse with the same amperage rating as the blown fuse.
Insert the new fuse into the same socket, ensuring it is seated properly.

5. Reassemble and Test

Replace the fuse box cover securely.
Turn the vehicle’s ignition to the "ON" position (do not start the engine).
Test the power outlets with a device to ensure they are functioning correctly.
