I have a 2006 Chevy Silverado 2500 and the power outlet/cigarette lighter does not have power. The fuse is good so somewhere between the fuse box and the outlet the power is being interrupted. Any idea where to look or what might be causing this?

Did you check for voltage at the cigar fuse? Use a voltage tester. If that checks out, check for voltage and ground at the cigar lighter socket. Orange wire is voltage, black is ground.
