I went to use the power outlet for my
iPhone, I turned the power outlet on but there was nothing coming out of it.

Did you check the fuse?

First, it's relatively inefficient to use the A/C outlet for this, as you are converting to A/C, and then back to D/C. It would be better to use one of the USB ports or a cigarette lighter plug...

Second, was the engine running when you tried this?

This. Is there a specific reason you want to use the power adaptor plugged in to the outlet instead of using one of the USB ports?

Do you have it turned on? Press the button on the dash, it controls both outlets.
Sorry if this is a dumb question... What button? The outlet in my truck just works as long as the engine is running. I'm not aware of a button to turn it on and off.
