My radio, 12 v plug and passenger seat have no power.
All the fuses look ok.

I read some similar posts, but I don’t have 2 -20-amp fuses in the left side dashboard to connect a wire to.

Any advice?

Thanks

On the left side of the dash there is a fuse #28 - 5 amp that needs to be checked.

Here is a guide to help and the fuse location as well:

There are two fuses that run the 12 Volt plug which are mentioned below. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.

My #28 fuse is under the steering column.

Where is the e1 fuse located?
I don’t see a 60-amp fuse anywhere.

Thanks

Can you check the red wire going to the 12-volt socket? You can see from the wiring diagrams the red wire comes from the fuse and goes to the socket.

Is this the red wire you want me to test?
I did see another red wire amongst a bunch of wires further down the line.

Can I test the wire with the pen light tester?

No, that is the main power to a sub system, please check the red wire going to the power socket. Or you can be careful and check for power in the center of the power socket down inside. Do not touch the side of the socket with the test light. Please let me know.

Turns out I don’t have ab12!V receptacle in the cargo bay.
I rechecked fuse #11 under the steering column (fuse diagram says it is for the 2 12 v receptacles that are not working) and the 15 a fuse looked intact, but I couldn’t get the test light to light up.
I checked some of the other fuses and some lit up the light and others didn’t

Should I try replacing the 15 A fuse? I already replaced it with one of the alternates. Should I go buy a new one?

Also, I tested the fuses with power on as I had the key in the second position. Neither side of fuse lit up. So, I guess that just means no power to the fuse.

I tried a new fuse. Still no power to the fuse. The fuse next to it #10 has power.
