Default Basement electrical outlets

I have a 2000 Scenic Cruiser. I cannot get power to the basement electrical outlets in the front 2 compartments on the passenger side. I have power to the lights, but not the outlets. What do I need to check? Is there a separate fuse somewhere or breaker? I have checked all fuses and reset all the breakers I could find. Is there a reset hidden somewhere for the outlets?

I only have one outlet on the first compartment passenger side. That is for AC power so the only thing that could trip that would be on your circuit breaker box on the side of the bed box.
The other outlet in a compartment on my scenic cruiser is in the inverter compartment and that outlet is for the block heater.

Are you talking about 12V or 110 outlets? The lights in those compartments of course are 12V and would gave nothing to do with a 110 outlet.

Both outlets are 110v. We always have a small fridge plugged in and stored drinks for the kids outside. It stopped working, so I suspect a blown fuse somewhere, but I sure can find it anywhere.

dbcain, any outlet that is 110, the circuit has to go through a circuit breaker, not a fuse. So check your circuit breakers.

I was wondering if that was the only outlet that does not have power? I was wondering if it was in the same circuit that might have a GFCI tripped in the same circuit. I have one in the bathroom next to the lavatory, one in under the kitchen cabinets and I believe there is another on the outside vent where the refrigerator plugs in. And again it might just be a bad outlet, they do fail every once in awhile, but you can get a tester and see if you have current on the wiring at the outlet.

Well, I have no idea what I did to correct my electrical problem in the basement outlet, but they are working again. All the GFI outlets were working. All breakers were in place and not tripped. So I guess luck was on my side. Hope the plugs stay hot. Thanks all for your suggestions. Maybe 1 of them was the issue.

My bet is that those cargo compartment outlets are wired in series with a GFI outlet and by reseting one of them you solved the problem.
