Consol 12v socket not working

[Boofla]

Hi all,

Just plugged in a charger and there is no power in the socket...
Checked the rear it's fine.
Checked the fuse it was good as well.
Is this a common thing?
Amy ideas on how to fix?

Thanks

There are multiple fuses for the sockets, have you checked them all?

I thought there was only one? Had a look I'm the owners manual and could only find one, will check again.

Thanks

There are 2 mine used to blow quite often (drivers front), kept telling the dealer, took three go's seems to be fixed now (touch wood).

don't know what they did but after the first time they said they checked the wiring and it was all fine, that lasted a week, second time same thing, third time same thing but it's been working now for 4 months.

I had the same problem.
Had my mechanic look at it a he said the wiring had shorted out at the back of the fuse box so maybe look at that??

Any clues on where the other fuse is???

There are three fuses on a D4. One for centre and rear, one for left front and one for right front. My GPS charger blew both front fuses and then my daughter blew the centre one with a dodgy iPad charger.

This happened well south of Newman and since my long range tank and transfer pump are on the same circuit as the left front plug I nearly ran out of fuel before I could fix it in Newman.

The fuses are behind the glove box and are shown in the manual. Just a bit hard to work out what the symbols mean!

That is correct, I didn't use the manual to check the location of the fuses I used the sticker inside the fuse cover.

I have heard stories about coins falling into the sockets which then blow the fuse.

Funny you should say that.... When I bought the car there was a 5c piece stuck in there...

Still haven't had a chance to look for the elusive fuse!
