    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

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

    Oooh look, another mod.....
    Look at the footwell fuse panel. Look for a fuse labeled P/OUTLET.

    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 :(
