So I was driving my car yesterday, with my phone charger plugged into one of my car’s outlets, an FM transmitter plugged into another, and another accessory plugged into the 3rd one. And all 3 outlets randomly stopped working at the same exact time.

Good evening,

There are 2 fuses for the power outlets. Check the fuses for power on both sides.

If there is no power, there is a accessory relay that controls all three.

From the sounds of it, you have overloaded the outlets.

Do you have a test light for some checks?
