I just replced the AC outlet (warranty repalcement) becuase the female recepticle plug wouldn't hold any type of male plug. I guess my plugs must be larger than most

The fix was a simple replacemnt of the plug that took a day to order the part and 38 seconds to replace. However, i have a 6 outlet power strip that I keep in the truck for long trips so the kids can charge their stuff (iPods, iPads, Nintendo DS's, etc.) and either the vibration from the road loosened the contacts inside the plug or someone kicked the plug causing it to loosen.

Anyone else had this problem and how did you solve the problem?

Mickey Mouse definately was employed as the design engineer on this job!

 

Mine has been un usable since almost day 1. I got an inverter that plugs into the 12V socket. Never got motivated to replace the factory outlet so it just sits there.

 

Only thing I use mine for is my blackberry charger and the plug is fairly secure.
Not as great as a L5-15R in a building but it gets the job done.
Sounds like the answer is to have it replaced if it's not holding any plugs.
For new owners, this is something to check within a few days.

 

Heh, If a L5-15R was standard equipment then users would be complaining because they don't have anything that plugs into a twist-lock outlet.

Guys, just go and replace it with a normal 5-15R duplex outlet. $0.80 for the residential grade and like $1.70 for the commercial spec-grade model. You can mount the LED indicator light beside it, or get the kind with a built in night light feature. If you want the best then pay the $7 for the green dot hospital grade models that won't let go of the plug you inserted

 

I would love to see you put a 5-15R outlet there. I am not an electrician but I don't think it would work. Would it??

 

5-15R.
At least the L5 would prevent that plug from falling out.

 

They also make a single-outlet version if space is a concern. Do you have a picture of the problem you're having?


I'm currently in the process of putting an outlet at the rear of my truck, like the 7-pin but on the other (right) side of the hitch receiver. I'm just using normal building electrical devices for this. That got me thinking about doing the same in your case where the OEM outlet is not working out too well.

 

Mine doesn't work at all, anyone know which fuse it is? I don't see anything regarding the 110 outlet in the manual

look at this one first

 

Gotcha. Thank you much, I was looking for "110" and "outlet"... I'm a dummy 😂

 

my pleasure!
I had to follow the wiring diagram to find it. I wouldn't have thought inverter either
