Cigarette Lighter Socket Power Help

Hi Guys -

Looking for some help. 18 4R with 49k miles.

My cigarette sockets don't seem to be proving any power. All other parts of the 4R are working correctly. The standard 3 prong outlet in the truck works perfect and so does the USB plug in the dash board.

I'm going to check on the fuse box today but, I assume that other electronics would not be working if it was a fuse problem.

Anyone else having the problem? Any advice?

Thanks All

 

Sounds like a fuse

 

Fuse. The outlets are on their own circuit or have very few other things on it. Generally speaking.

 

Can someone please tell me which fuse it is? Thanks!

 

Look at the footwell fuse panel. Look for a fuse labeled P/OUTLET.

 

Awesome! Thanks so much! I found this interactive link, too that's pretty sweet

 

Welcome to the board. That interactive link is pointing to the wrong fuse. Borracho Loco pointed you in the right direction.

 

Thank you! Took me a while to find it! And impossible to examine and pull fuse without taking things apart but when faced with impossible things, I get over determined!

 

I looked for a tutorial on how to get at that box, but came up with nothing. Is there a trick, or simple instructions to get at the fuse in the footwell fuse box? I found the fuse, but my old age eyesight, and lack of flexibility is impeding any progress

 

I feel your pain. I use an inspection mirror, a flashlight, and a pair of fuse pulling pliers.

 

Better dust off your yoga skills bro. Without 'em, you cannot reach the fuse box under the dash. You have to stand facing away from the door, then bend over backwards and start to shimmy yourself into the foot well. Then, after you've managed to pull off this amazing circus act, tilt your head slightly to the right and up. There's the fuse box. In the worst possible spot ever imagined.

Air on the side of caution, and get a spotter in case you fall or hurt yourself. Actually, not in case, but WHEN you fall; because it will happen. If you can pull this off and not spit out any profanity at all you get a prize.

What's the prize you ask? Don't worry, you'll never achieve it. Nobody has!
