I encountered the same problem. I checked the sockets with a voltmeter and they were working fine. Turns out it was the cell phone charger I was trying to use. The center of the accessory sockets on the z have a hole in the middle of them for some reason. There is a metal ring in there that is the positive connection, it just looks like the center of a donut. If you lie down on the passenger side floorboard and look at it with a light, you'll see what i mean.The center console is made the same way. The tip of my charger was not contacting contacting the positive terminal of the socket, thus i thought the same thing as you. With a bit of repositioning i was able to make it work. I had to go eith a different type of charger anyways. Also, as previous members stated, i'd definitely double check those fuses and make sure the ignition is in the on position. good luck
