On my 08 Grand Caravan, I have an issue with the rear power outlet located just behind the middle seat driver's side. Recently, there has been no power. I have not had it in for a check up, nor has that particular problem been an issue prior to this. Is there a dedicated circuit, fuse, or breaker to that outlet, that could've been shorted, blown, or tripped? Or could the connection have been loosened? I look forward to your input.

Thank you, Docfixit, for your input on the '08 Grand Caravan rear electrical outlet problem. I re-checked the fuse, and that particular fuse slot has three prongs, so the fuse can actually fit into two different locations on the same slot. And, according to the fuse legend, the fuse sits offset to the rest in that row. Wrong! I moved the fuse to the position that parallels it with the rest, and, CASE CLOSED!

That's so the power outlet can be powered up with the ignition switch off or it must be on, customer's choice.
