power outlet, cigarette lighter, and clock quit working....

[robwilson4040]

a few days ago, i noticed that my power outlet had quit working, so i plugged my phone into my cigarette lighter, and the next day that too went bad, and later that day i noticed the clock is no longer on at all....... and i cant find a bad fuse, does anybody have a suggestion??

[krawzyazn]

change the fuse for it anyways

also, the fusebox cover doesnt have that labeled..... so i dont even know which fuse goes to it

anybody know that??

[Yanks0114]

owners manual should have info about the fuses and a picture of which goes where

first, the manual was no help with labeling the fuses, unless i overlooked it but i dont think i did.....

and my other question is: once i get it working again, does anybody know how to rig the power outlet so that it will work even when the car is completely off?

thanks

Take a voltmeter and find out which one is the hot (12V) and cut the wire. Then run a 12 volt constant (Either from the fuse box) or from any other constant source.

You can either tap the door locks fuse, power seats or any accessory which can work when the car is off.

You could also run it directly to the battery, but thats a big project

[FLASH]

Same thing happened to me a while ago, and it was my fuse. It IS in the manual somewhere, for some reason I think the fuse number is 21...? Ill check later if I get the time, but I think thats your problem.

I had the same problem. There is a label listing the fuses on the back side of the panel, next to the hood release.
