No 12v outlet

[chrisbailey13]

I have a question that is probably pretty simple, but I can't figure it out. My 12v outlet in the dash doesn't work. I checked the fuse in the engine compartment and it is good. Any ideas?

On a side note, I took the dash out to see if the 12v had come loose, or if there was an inline fuse that may have b!own. While I was in there I found out my unit has a satellite tuner that wasn't plugged into the head unit. The ends where taped together but not plugged into each other.

Quality at its best

There could be a fuse holder in one of the legs of the 12V outlet under the dash or wherever the wiring is behind the outlet. My outline has such a fuse holder under the dash very close to the back of the outlet where the wires connect to it.

Have you checked the fuses inside under the dash to the left of the steering wheel?

Iggy, that would be too easy, I didnt see the outlet on the "legend" for that panel in the manual, so I didn't even look down there.

I will check tomorrow

I checked that when I took the console dash off, didn't see one, but I will check again on my next tinker session,

It has a black plastic over it that pops off.
Check Fuse #17 it is a brown 5 amp

I also would not assume that the outlet itself is working. Check to see if you have voltage at the terminals (back) of the outlet. If you have voltage there and the outlet does not work either the outlet is bad or it is possible the plug is not making good contact.

Chris this is probably WAY too simplistic...but if you tested the outlet by plugging something in:
1. Thr plugs themselves often have internal fuses...so be sure the item you plugged in works in other outlets or check the fuse.
2. The key position in the ignition could be off for the outlet.
