I give up, advisors assemble! Lighter fuse?

Googled. Searched TW. Read the diagram on the underside of the lid for the fuse box under the hood of my 2016 SR5.

Which one of these mother scratchers is the fuse for the cigarette lighter/ chargers?

Please and thank you.

 

Fuse box under dash driver side. Labeled P outlet 1 and 2. (15 amp fuses)

 

So they were hiding it from me? Thanks D_o!

 

Anyone know what the open fuse is for? I have my dash cam plugged in and have constant power.

 

Sorry for the stupid question, but I have yet to actually dig in to my fuse blocks in my `18. This particular block, are they mini fuses, or standard size?

 

Mini Low Profile Fuses

 

Fantastic, thank you!

 

on my 2016 they are mini fuses .

 

I don't understand the question. The vacant fuse appears to be vacant for all 3rd Generation, but is a place to take off for something. Are you sure it is wired and if so where the wires go ?
I assume your camera is wired from another source, but you made it out as if it was wired from this vacant spot .

Since all the photos and the sources I can find show this vacant, there is nothing there for wires to be . I would have to go stick a test light there to see more.

Sometimes cars and trucks have vacant fuses because an option they might be wired for was not selected at the time of the original sale . For example there was a time when AC was a bigger option than it is now. At that time the fuse box would have been labeled and the wires would exist . This vacant slot is not labeled for anything . The contacts you see may not have any wires connected to them .

 

You have a very special Tacoma..love to see.

 

I have this kind, not the low profile .

 

Show us this fuse box full of those...

 

LOL I blew a fuse for the trailer package, checking it I guess with a test light . I had to go buy fuses like it at Walmart. Walmart has them in stock . I bought a small supply of them and they look like the one I displayed, that you posted. I was expecting large 'medium', but had the fuse I blew in my hand to compare .

 

I have my dash cam with park mode plugged in there because it is powered up even when the truck is off. I have a voltage cut off installed as to not drain the battery too low.

 

That spot is wired on the hot side and is hot all the time.

 

Hot side is the one towards the middle or the edge pin?

 

I can't remember now. I dont have my test light at home.

Edit: By looking and changing my fuse tap, it appears to me that the hot side is the outside (edge). But this was just a quick look and test as it started raining on me, so this is not for sure.

 

Update with new and interesting suckage. Changed out the fuse. Charger in the console worked. As soon as I plugged a charger into the lighter, they both stopped working.

Ok. Lighter is the issue.

Changed the fuse again. Now the console charger port doesn't work.

 

Did you check both 15 amp fuses? P outlet 1 and 2.
That is strange how they would both stop working though, if they are on seperate fuses.
