Auxiliary Power outlet ?
I have a 2015 Z51 A8. I have no power to the auxiliary power outlet on the top of the center console.
I have checked fuse #23 in the front fuse pnl and #22, 37 and relay R4 in the rear fuse pnl.
I do have power to the power plug inside the center console.
Is there anything else to check before I remove the center console?
Thanks, Gary

You don't need to remove the center console! If you look inside the power outlet, you will see two plastic tabs. Push these out and pull to remove the outlet. There is a special tool for this, but you should be able to do it with a helper.

You do know that the aux outlet only has power when the ignition is on or the car is running? If you get in the car and look for power out of the outlet, you won't find any unless the previous conditions I mentioned are in place. Once you turn off the car, the aux power will continue to be on until you open the door OR 10 minutes lapses in both of these situations the RAP (Retained Accessory Power) goes off.
Oh, this applies to the AUX power plug inside of the console, the radio, the interior lights and pretty much all of the electrical system too.
