Hey all. I have a problem with 4 of my 5 sockets not working. Checked all the fuses and can't find an obvious fault. Any suggestions?

Did you fit all of them? do they are take their supply from teh same wire? trace back to where they draw their power and your fault will be there. Check your Ohms from one to the other positive to positive, negative to any earth on the car. unbroken circuit will read Zero Ohms

I didn't fit them. The last owner had them done. There was even a new fuse box installed with a fuse for each, but 2 of them are factory fitted. I'll give it a go and see what happens. Thanks.

Then your problem is at the factory one that is not working mate, it will be a slave from the other one, all the rest are getting their power from it and it is broken. take that one out and check the connections

The fuse for the original 12 volt socket in the back, is in the fuse box under the bonnet, did you check this one?

If all those extra sockets are looped across the original socket I would remove them and get them wired up properly with their own power supply.
