Power socket not working

[big_boz]

Just realised my cig lighter socket isn't working, checked the fuse in the driver's side footwell (what a terrible design to Access) and it's fine, before I start ripping the dash apart.....any common issues to look for.

 

I'm gonna pull the dash and check for power at the socket as check 1........

Voltmeters can be bought for 20 pounds, or so.

Probably much easier than pulling the dash out.

I have a multi meter and the socket shows zero but I need to pull the centre console to get to the back of the socket to fault trace......

Has someone fitted a USB socket next to it? In a blank switch space?

 

The usually piggyback the cig connector(plug and play) possibly the cig socket was not reconnected
