Power outlet not working

Hi. I have a 2005 Acura TSX. I have 2 power outlets in my car. Both are not working. I thought it was a blown fuse so I replace the fuse. I then plug in my phone charger to check, one outlet works but the other one doesn't. Then I remove the phone charger (on the outlet that works) and plug the phone charger back in again (on the same outlet). Suddenly it doesn't work. Please help!

You probably have a cig fuse and a aux fuse for the two outlets which fuse did you replace?Did the fuse blow again?

Thank you for answering! According to my car manual, both outlets use the same fuse. I replace the fuse twice and the outlets are still not working.
