I have an 03 LSV8, out of the 3 power outlets, 2 dont work, only the cigarette lighter has power which the owners manual says not to use, it says to use the 12v next to it or the one in the center console but neither are powered, just wondering if its a common problem and how to fix it, its kind of cold out and i dont feel like changing the fuses in the poorly placed fuse box. any suggestions?

Umm, check the fuses, maybe?

There is a fuse panel in the trunk and in the kick panel. check both one of the two places should fix your problem. I am almost certain it is going to be the fuse in the trunk.

Check page 214 of the Owner's Guide for the fuse locations. The Owner's Guide for the '03 LS is here:

Also, when are you checking for power? It could be they only work with the key on....unlike the cigarette lighter which always has power.
