Regarding a dead power outlet - I'd check the fuse again and see if it is blown (if blown, you can see a "break" in the metal sealed in the plastic). I would suspect that if the new fuse is blown, you have a direct short in your socket. Possibly caused by excessive heat, or physical damage to the socket itself. Any damaged could have been caused by inserting the plug. My port in my SUV also blown, due to physical damage causing a direct short within the socket (easily checked with a multi-meter). Cheap to replace, but a real bugger to get too! Have to disassemble the dash to get it out. Check RUclips for any socket replacement videos.
Thanks for the info! The fuse didn't look blown, but that was when I was still out on the road (and trying to fix it in a Walmart parking lot in 90+ degrees!). Now that I am home, I will use better lighting and some magnification to see if there is a break in the metal. And BTW, on the last day of my trip, the second power outlet also stopped working! When I get around to fixing it all I am hoping I can upgrade to better quality sockets. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Socket in my 2017 touring stopped working then returned. Suggestion did you find socket to tight when inserting zinger plug that might have done it. I’ve learned don’t force plugs into sockets. It might return if you juggle plugs in the future.
