Car Forum / Subaru Cars / May 200497 subaru - cig-lighter - power port "died"
the power port up front on the dash died. We plugged something in & it acted like the fuse blew.. later we checked the fuse for the cig lighter and it was good --- then we checked ALL the fuses -- all good We took a volt meter to the port -- and it has no volts. is there another "inline" fuse somewhere or another fuse box hidden? thanks -josh --- Remove x's to send. ya know - I get a feeling I've read about this issue. Prolly at www.usmb.net or ? 'maybe' it's in line under the console? Don't go looking til you can confirm it. Also try www.scoobymods.com . Hope someone knows for sure.

You will see the link which appears like a thin insulated wire crimped at either end check for continuity between the ends and you have an answer - I replaced mine with 15amp fuse wire so now I can plug in my phone or portafridge Derek > > the power port up front on the dash died.

I was recieving current by the wires but it wasn't transmilling to the outlet properly. Re-soldered it and it has been working for the past two years.
