Alrighty...
In my 1999 Explorer XLT:
I was attempting to hook up a CB with a cigarette lighter adaptor, utilizing the accessory outlet on the passenger side of the center console, near the floor, and was attempting to test the voltage to make sure I didn't hook up the CB wrong.
Well, apparently, I'm a retard, and had my crappy multimeter hooked up wrong, and I popped a fuse or something.
So, I pull out my handy-dandy Chilton's book, and realize that the two fuse panel/distribution block diagrams in the book (one for Rangers, one for Explorers/Mountaineers) are not the same as my fuse panel - not only are all my fuses different amperages (lower, not higher, so if my fuses are wrong, they're wrong on the safe side), but since I couldn't seem to locate the blown fuse based on the Chilton's book, I proceeded to visually inspect every single fuse in both the fuse panel and the distribution block.
I can't find a single blown fuse.
The cigarette lighter in the dash, near the radio, works just fine, so it's obviously not on the same fuse.
I popped out the front pocket dealie in the center console, and unplugged the deal from the accessory outlet, and tested it with my non-crappy multimeter, which was hooked up correctly (tested it on a 9V battery before I tried to blow my truck up again), and I'm not getting any power on it.
Can anyone help me out here - not only with getting the accessory outlet powered again, but perhaps a correct fuse and distribution block diagram for my truck?
