On some things, yes, others, no. To generalize, if its electronic, then it probably has a control circuit that is still consuming some extremely tiny amount of power. If it is manually operated, it probably doesn't consume anything (ie vacuum, toaster, blender, oscillating fan, drill, etc).

If it has a light when it's off, it's using power (ie: that little red light on your TV, DVD player, the clock on a coffee machine).

Where is the fuse or relay for the auxiliary power outlets in a 2000 Dodge Durango?

The main fuse panel is at the left end of the dash and there's a fuse/relay box under the hood above the left front wheel well. Check both panel covers. The outlets are on a 20amp circuit, so if you don't find any labels, check all the 20amp fuses for a blown one.
