2011 Acadia. Had the battery replaced. Since then, the cigarette chargers do not work and the Driver side of the car only blows hot air when the air condition is on.

Yes, it’s a power outlet. Just from a generation where you had only cigarette lighters… We never had anything the power.

Check the fuses and make sure none are blown out. The air vent may need to be reset since power was disconnected. Some designs are like that at least.
