Fuse for power ports

My power ports are both dead at the bottom of the center dash area. Yesterday I verified that the wires are all plugged in correctly on the back side. Cigarette lighter has power and works fine for charging devices.

Anyone know if there is a fuse for the lower two ports? Where is it?

Sounds like they might be a bitch to fix factory like. Maybe cut one off and put a regular female spade connector on the wires and see if it powers up again.

 

You could also try adding a jumper in place of the under hood relay like what is shown in this post to see if maybe that relay was actually bad.

Thnx buddy, I’m going to try the jumper method. I like the idea of having power there with or without the ignition on.

Lol. Thanks. Been lagging on that one.

 

Well, I tried the jumper and the outlets are still dead. I need to open up the lower center dash again and check for power.

 

Per that first link I posted, it sounds like there is a fusible link in the actual connectors for the power ports. That's why I was saying you might try just snipping off one of those connectors and put female spades on them and see if there is power that way.

 

Will do
