Check fuse D-5
(No longer own a Boxster but my web search engine says various sites say Fuse D-5 is cigar lighter.)

If fuse ok then check plug at back, terminals and wiring w/ a digital multimeter. It's a very simple 'device' so should work as long as power to it.

100% wrong

Cig outlet power is always active in 9x6 & 9x7 platforms (at least for US spec.)

In 981+ I'm told it goes dormant after "x" period of time when car is not used. Suncoast IIRC claims X = 10 days but have never heard confirmation, etc.

Good luck
