Anyone know what fuse powers the rear seat 12V accessory outlet? I went to plug in my portable air compressor and found the outlet dead. First guess is the fuse. Of course the manual was of zero help as there is nothing listed as being for the accessory outlet. And list it looks like major surgery to get to the Frunk fuse panel, I am not anxious to just look...

Not 100% sure, but there are 3 fuses in the frunk fuse box labeled “Power Point” or “Auxiliary Power Point.” It should be one of those. Removing the plastic cover isn’t difficult, but losing the clips can be an issue.

Yes, the manual lists a couple of fuses labeled "Power Point", but that did not mean anything to me.

I'm glad that removing the cover is not that hard. Reading the manual made it seem to be a major project just to get the cover off.

If it's like my 25 Flash, it's F34 in the junction box in the frunk.

That’s one of the “Auxiliary Power Points.” Same as my 2023.

And, yeah, the label could be clearer.

Click on the pic and it expands big enough for my blind arse to see.

That’s not what my manual shows.

Yours isn't a 25 so there's going to be some differences. Perhaps the op here can find some use between the differing info.

Assuming it really is fuse 34 (same label in the description for my 24), the fuse is not blown. So much for the easy answer. Note however that the description of how to access the fuse box is FAR more complex than it needs to be. It implies that all four covers in the frunk need to be removed - which has got to be around 50 clips. No need to do that - only one cover needs to be removed...

My search suggested that the fuse involved could be 32, 33 or 34, depending on model/year. One of those tables does say 32 is a 'Power Point."

Could this be another symptom of a weak 12v battery load shedding?
Any messages about battery saver mode recently?

Do you have any other 12v accessories plugged in that could be reducing the available energy to the outlet?

Does the truck have to be all the way ON for that outlet to work?

Obviously if none of the above, check for a broken wire to the outlet.

Yea, I did a quickie one with the shell installed. I'll get a better one (likely at a two way radio site) next time I'm at one.
