12v Socket not working! [SOLVED]
The 12v socket under my glovebox has stopped working, i've checked all 3 fuses listed in the diagram and even swapped all of them out. The 12v socket in the ashtray part is working.
Anyone got any ideas as to what else could be the problem? Last edited by teaston; 07-05-2015 at 12:43 PM.. |

I had this about a month ago. I checked fuses too. Ended up bringing it in. I'll check the RO but fairly certain it was a fuse.

Said to be caused by the plug you inserted in the socket.
It is a fuse, blown due to the plug used in the socket.

Was the panel below the glove box removed for some reason and someone failed to reconnect the connector for the accessory socket?

USA ones every 2nd if I remember correctly Many DIY'ers do it much more frequently to keep the activated carbon fresh and filtering out bad smells.

I just had the exact same issue.
Bought a new 12v charger for the phone. Tried it in all the sockets and the under-glovebox one wasn't working. Whilst not a deal breaker it's definitely a cool extra 12v socket I was pleased to have. A quick search brought me to this thread. Off came the panel and I saw, just like above, the socket had been disconnected. Reconnected it, put it back together and it works. This is forum usage summed up perfectly. |

So, I'm having the same issue as the OP, only opposite. The socket under the glove box is working (where I have my radar plugged in), but the one underneath the center stack is not.
Could be a fuse I guess. Anyone know which fuse, or somewhere I can look to identify them? Or just take it in? Lol

It worked! Thanks again!
I took the fuse from 162 and used it to replace 66 (center stack). Not sure what 162 goes to. I’m guessing it’s the fuse for the 12v outlet in the back seat, but I don’t have that one in my car. So if I don’t have it, guess I don’t need the fuse, lol!
