Anybody experiencing the power ports in the front console not working?

Neither the one under the front lid, nor the one on the back of the center console is working. the one in the 3rd row seat works fine.

Thought it might be connected to MFT (isn't everything :) ) but doesn't seem to be. Weird that both ports would go out at same time. I thought they were wired independently.

Any thoughts?

Thanx
 






Check out fuses 9, 21 and 27. The layout is on page 322 of the 3rd edition manual. The panel is below and to the left of the steering wheel by the brake pedal.

They are independently fused. It would be strange to have multiple blown, but its probably still worth checking.
 






Well...it's not the fuse. Yesterday, all of a sudden the port came alive. Can't explain why. The only thing I can figure is that the MFT is controlling it and had a brain fart. :mad:

Today, it's not working again...then it is.

Have an appt with the dealer tomorrow. Can't wait to hear his explanation.:eek: "that's the way it is" will NOT be an acceptable answer

I'll keep you posted.
 






Boy...is my face red

Turns out the power ports are fine. I had a bad plug on my 12v accessory.

Sorry for the inconvenience:banghead::banghead::banghead:
