My power outlet doesnt seem to be working right.When I plug my dash cam into it it will go on for a few seconds then shut off same with my cell phone.I checked the fuse its a 20 amp and its not blown.Can the outlet go bad itself?

 

I guess no ones knows.

 

Well, do some basic checks with a volt meter, or just replace it.

 

Many times it is the plug (all plugs aren't made the same to match the negative band inside of the power port) and it take just to rotating the plug for its neg contacts the find the sweet spot on the power port's inside neg band. Just rotate the plug a bit to make a good contact.
