cigarette lighter/charge ports

None of these ports work in my wife's 05 gp and I was wondering if it's as simple as a bad fuse. If so what would it be called on the diagram?

Sounds like a bad fuse, as my ports are powered all the time. Check fuse number 10 under the hood. It says auxiliary power, which is the closest I can find in the manual.

That fuse location is pretty cool. There are 3 slots for the fuse instead of 2. If you put the fuse in one way, it's powered all the time. If you use the other 2 slots, it's a key on curcuit. Pretty fancy I think! But, I'm pretty easily impressed I guess!

Got them working again. Not quite sure what you mean by 3 slots for it I only saw the one with only two holes.

Sorry for the confusion. On my '01 SSEi, the space for the aux. power and the "cigar lighter" as the owner's manual calls it, is wider than the other fuse locations. Instead of having just a place for the two pins of the fuse, there are three pin locations. If you put the fuse in using the center and left pin location, it's a power on circuit, if you put the fuse in the center and right pin locations, it's a continuous power circuit which means you can continue charging your phone even when the car is turned off.
It may not be like this of your model.
