Default '08 E350 van rear power outlet

The rear power outlet (driver side B pillar) stopped working yesterday. We were running two computers off a converter which is what most likely killed it. Anyway, checked the fuse and replaced it with a new one anyway, didn't fix it. Any suggestions as to what could be wrong?

Need it fixed quickly, the van is being used for a West Coast tour on Plaidnation.com

If the fuse didn't fix it you need to check for power with the vehicle on. Use a volt meter, touch the negative probe to th side of the outlet and the positive probe to the center of the outlet. Voltage should read between 12.5-14v. If not there is another bad fuse or the wiring to the outlet has been damaged. Ocassionally the outlets do actually go bad.
