What will cause my 2 AUX 12v plugs to work intermittently and now not work at all? Been like this for a year... going camping this weekend and I kinda need my AUX plugs to work again. I personally don't think its the plugs them selves. What ground do I need to check?

The black one. :D im pretty sure your damn near two years with this issue now :hug:

try applying ground to the ground wires and see if the issue goes away, if it dont, you know its a power issue. you dont have any scotch lock connectors on any wires under the dash do ya?

Means bad ground somewhere or bad plugs. if you can, run a new ground wire from the plug its self straight to a known good ground. if that fixes it, you need to trace down the bad ground, if it doesnt, you need new plugs

Both of mine did the exact same thing. I would plug my passport into them and get brief power. Couple min later, nothing. Soldered In a new wire and ran it to a new ground. Fixed the problem.
