Check the fuses with the auxiliary charging ports to see if they have burned. If the fuse is good, then there is an open or short within the wiring to the charging ports. The radio has an auxiliary wire attached to it to turn on the system. Check all of the wiring with a digital ohm meter to see if there is an open or a short that will cause the port to not operate properly. If you need further assistance with your charger ports not working, then seek out a professional, such as one from Your Mechanic, to help you.
