Hey, had my vibe for about a month, haven't touched anything till today.
Electrical outlet in the front isn't working, yes i hit the button next to it. The cigarette lighter works as well (read if it works the other works).
What could possibly be the problem? which wires should i test to see if it's receiving power? thanks!

When you push the button does it turn the LED on?
What are you trying to power? Is it more than 100watts?
I haven't had to diagnose the outlet before, but the power inverter it self is under the driver seat.

Yes, when i press the button, the indicator Light turns on. Connected 2 diferent phone chargers and a laptop, none worked. (so that thinh under my seat is the inverter!) How can i Check if the inverter is working prop?

Update: Just tested the wires going into the socket, wires are dead no power going to them with the switch on or off. Where else should i Check?

Check the INV fuse in the under dash fuse block. If that's good, reach up over the glove compartment and feel the four relays up on top of a junction panel, see if any of them feel loose.
