    So the lights on the switch are on and working. But there’s no power to the outlet in the bed of the truck! I changed the 15a fuses. Any other thoughts?

    That's an 80 amp fuse. It's only used for the inverter/120v AC in the bed.

    Either a fuse as described above or a disconnect in the wire. When I bought my truck, the switch didn’t work. Come to find they forgot to plug the switch in or got loose from the factory. Easy fix.

    Switch indication would not work if connector is off.

    Doesn’t mean it’s not disconnected at the bed. However it’s more likely to be the fuse.

    Would switch indicator work if fuse was bad?? Do you think I should get the 80A?

    NO, you should get someone with more skills to test the 80A fuse...

    Disconnect battery and check the terminals at both the switch and bed side. Super easy fix if that’s the issue and you don’t need electrical knowledge. Just to save you a few bucks at the shop if they charge to look at it.

    Do you know how to remove the floor console to access the inverter?

    No. I still have another year on the extended warranty. Maybe I’ll just have dealer fix it. If it’s covered. But I’m always afraid they will screw something else up lol.

    I like trying to fix the issue myself and learn. But this may be a little out of my expertise.

    There are two connectors to the inverter, one provides 80A fused juice via a relay actuated by a switch. The other receives input from various systems and also provides the converted dc to ac. Having access to them you can test the fuse, relay and function of the inverter.
