if the fuse is ok then it must be a wiring fault. is there definitely voltage at the socket?

have you checked with a voltmeter or tried another type of charger in it. most chargers for phones and t wat navs have fuses in them!

Just a thought but is there a fuse under the bonnet you've not checked? That's what happened to me once in my old car - the fuse in the cabin was fine, but I wasn't aware that there was one under the bonnet too.

i'd say that there must be another fuse. sticking a key in probably blew the fuse

There 'has' to be another fuse somewhere in line, other than the main fuse (which probably provides voltage to several accessories).....the trick of course is finding the bugger!

Wouldn't watching an awful business presentation be distracting when you're driving?
