My model does not have anything in the Cigar. Mini Relay slot. Do you have any other diagnosis suggestions for this issue? Thanks.

Yes, I looked under the left rear seat and found that position #58 is empty. I acquired the car 6 month ago. The cigar. and aux. power worked until last week.

#65 is empty, too. There are a surprising number of empty slots. I mapped those that are filled, if that helps with the diagnosis. Thanks.
