Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Trucks / October 2006Help, please: no power to 12v outlets
2001 Dakota, 4.7l v8 4x4. Recently, I replaced the ignition switch... Last time I'd used my in-truck fridge (and thus a power outlet) was before this replacement. Noticed today, that all three 12V power outlets are not working. Tried replacing the fuse (#17 I think), didn't work. What else could be causing these outlets to not work? Everything else on the truck is working fine. Where should I check to determine what the problem is? Thanks for any help. No cold sodas for today's trip, alas! jmc Do you have a battery installed and connected? :^)  Signature------------------------------------------ Laszlo Almasi ----Cool Toys (formerly Carolina Watercraft Works) ----Mack Daddy Trailers ----Ice Angels > 2001 Dakota, 4.7l v8 4x4. > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > jmc Suddenly, without warning, Carolina Watercraft Works exclaimed (21-Oct-06 10:39 AM): > Do you have a battery installed and connected? > > :^) 10,000 comedians out of work, and you and Beekeep are trying to break into the business.

It makes you so happy that you exclaim "Thank you Jesus" and then he turns it into water. beekeep Suddenly, without warning, beekeep exclaimed (21-Oct-06 5:08 PM): >> Thanks for any help.

Problem is, where I am it gets up to 40c/104f quite often, and before I can say, "Thank you Jesus", it's turned to warm water. Using a non-powered cooler slows the process down, but not by much. jmc > 2001 Dakota, 4.7l v8 4x4. > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > jmc Does the cig lighter work? Roy I think I see where Roy is going....did you try the frig plug in each of the 3 outlets? Try a different item...like the lighter. I've seen some plugs that have a fuse inside the plug....maybe that's it.

YUP! There is. Just unscrew it. Mine has a little brass retainer that unscrews. Careful, 'cause the thing is spring loaded. The fuse is behind the spring.

Ok, if that works, then it's just the two "power" outlets that aren't working (one on dash, one in armrest). duh! I don't smoke, so sometimes forget there's even an ash tray there. jmc I agree. Also, I think that those may not be on all the time. If I recall, 1 is always hot, the other 2 switched...or 2 hot and one switched.

Sorry if that is the case.

Apology accepted. I generally try to stay "gender neutral" on the 'net, but folks here have known me for too long :) jmc Suddenly, without warning, Carolina Watercraft Works exclaimed (22-Oct-06 5:27 AM): > I think he's learning to smoke first. Gotta check to see > if the lighter is working. It's a shame he has to get cancer > to find out. :^) Um. _s_he. Thanks to Mike S., I got 'em working again. He'd sent me an email offline (had an attachment) to check the second fuse box in the engine compartment. I'd never opened that & didn't know what was in there. Sure 'nuff, the 20A fuse to the power outlets was blow. Replaced, and all is well. Some concern as to why it blew, but I'm not particularly worried unless they keep blowing. jmc > Suddenly, without warning, Carolina Watercraft Works exclaimed (22-Oct-06 > 5:27 AM): [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > jmc Glad it all worked out for you.
