it may be the invert-er not all of those things work correctly when plugged into cars just like cell phone chargers. aux power fuse two posers left side if that is one you checked. if you have attest light or volt meter check center piece for power. if no power then it has a shorted wire.

If the fuses check out it could be that the wire itself has failed. Those sockets are not really rated for much power draw. It looks like you have three possible fuses depending on which way the options are. Aux Power Fuse one or two and a lighter fuse.
