I dont know if this was discussed before but just in case:

There's a second fuse panel located forward of the center console on the passenger side, just pop off the front panel of the console and you'll see it. Check these fused also, mine were loose. - Dan

I plugged in a 300 watt power inverter and it worked for a minute or so and then shut off, so i tried the other cigarette adapter and it did the same thing, now neither of them work. Did it blow some fuses or what?

No, I didn't blow any fuses. I was just looking to see how the console comes out so I can install a short shifter.

However, you may have blown a fuse.

More than likely.

This thread is starting to explain a problem I have! :thumb: I had NO idea/clue that there was a separate fuse box/panel. :eek: Kudos go to you Dan! :beer:

I found out over the weekend, that my cigarette lighter (12v power port) doesn't work but all the other 12v ports have juice?

Just now I went outside & looked for this panel & found it... but it seems pretty tough to pull off. Is there a helpful trick? :confused: I don't want to break the plastic. :roll:

Cause if it's breakable... 9 times outta 10... I'll break it! :( (I'm like a fricken bull in a china shop!) :red:

:D Yep :D

Well I took a chance & pulled off that panel, but unfortunately the fuse schematic listed on the back (of the panel) doesn't show any fuses pertaining to the cig lighter port. :confused:

I also followed the wire to/from the cig lighter and it was connected properly. (or seemed OK) :confused:

Back to "square one" for me... or back to the dealership... since it is a warranty issue. :roll:

I am exactly where you are. I've checked all the fuses, and the only one that says 12v is #30 under the hood and it works, but it still doesnt make the one in the dash work. The only one that works now is the one in the rear.
