    Hey all, my outlets went out and I didn’t seem to find a blown fuse. Does anyone know where it is?

    I fuse tapped in my arb compressor to this fuse however it doesn’t look blown. It just says “gauge” and not even sure what it goes to or if even relates to the outlets

    There are more fuses under the hood, on the driver side, too. There is a relay there, too, which you'll want to check.

    You can see in the pic where there's a wire jumper, that's normally where the 12v outlet relay goes.

    One way would be to jump like you see in my pic. If it works, then the relay is the likely problem.

    Then you could just leave it like that. The jumper allows you to have 12v power to the 2 outlets all the time (the upper one with the cig lighter is separate). It's really convenient when camping and charging phones or whatever.

    In the 12 or so years I've had this, I've never drained the battery, even letting it sit for a couple weeks at a time.

    I’ll test that out this weekend and see if I can get it. Really annoying to not be able to charge phones lol
