12v Socket in Boot

[chrisash32]

Hi everyone! Hows it going?

Has anyone experienced issues with the 12v socket in the boot of the A4 Avant?
Mine doesn't seem to work at all.. Checked the fuse etc etc all is fine. But just not getting any power at all from the socket....

Is there something else between here the fuse that could have gone?

Cheers
Chris

I had a small problem with mine, i think the socket swivels or the lid, anyway there was too much movement and the positive wire and broken off the back of the socket. Quick re-solder job and it's working fine now.
