I was using a portable 12 volt tire inflator to put air in tire. After about 5-10 minutes tire inlator stopped working. I did not have engine running while powering inflator. The inflator will work in cig lighter. Checked the aux power fuse and it was ok. Are there any other fuses in connection with the accessory power outlet? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

i just kept double checking fuses, found out which one it was, and put a high amp fuse in there. i dont really know if thats the same problem youre having though. i wish i could be more help. i am sorry.

It maybe the tire inflator. Some are built to cycle off after 10 minutes so it can cool down for 10 minutes. Just a thought

Aux power outlet is bad. Buy a new outlet & bezel for about 12 bucks from GM.
