Power outlets don’t work (update: blown fuse #34 in bed and #32 in center console cigarette lighter outlet)

[Cyrusblack]

I went to use the power outlets in the bed of the truck and it didn’t work. Checked the one in the center console and that is dead as well. Manual doesn’t mention anything about turning on a switch. Not sure why this doesn’t work. Any ideas?

Try to check fuse, otherwise it's Service/warranty time.

I should probably go check mine now...

Check your fuses. Likely one blew.

Fuse #34 - you would think that Ford would have put a map on the fuse box lid - nope

You can pick up a voltage tester made for car fuses for $4 - makes life much easier than having to guess and check without the map on the cover.

Ford - How about you tell us where the power outlet indicator is?

I believe they're small orange lights above the outlets themselves.

Nothing there that I can see.

No circular puncture around the outlet where an LED could shine through?

This video shows the green light when it’s on.

I guess it is where Gator showed us. Have to check tomorrow

It only puts out 3.3 amps so if you plugged something that draws more you might have popped the fuse.

Really? That's it? That's weak as hell

You have to have the pickup RUNNING.
the green light is above the outlet and comes on when the pickup is running
