Sat Nav stopped charging & phone won't charge, so presume the socket has broken?

Any ideas?

The electrical connectors may have disconnected from underneath.

fuse is easy to check, its the same as the radio, rear fog light & boot release.

Might be one or both of the spades have come off the back or have some paper stuck in the socket so its not making the connection.

There is something stuck in the end of it so you are not making contact with the +ve pin - take the fuse out & fish it out.
The wire(s) have come off the back of it - take the tunnel off and check
Its fk*d - buy a new one

No wires going in the back of it bizarrely, I can see one poking out if the trim do that's a little job for tomorrow smile

these things have a habit of falling in half under the tunnel cover....easy repair if a bit fiddly
