power point
my power point is not working. never did since i bought it. fuse is fine. i have a hard time believing it is broken, unless the previous owner unhooked it or something. does someone have a trick i don't know of?

Do you have more than one powerpoint? If you do, some of them are fused separately. They will use one fuse for the cigarette lighter and sometimes another for the powerpoint in the back on the console if you have one.

i see.. hrmm...
the only fuse i checked was #4, which said in the manual, it was for the instrument panel and power point. I do also have the cigarette light, and it works. so dave, i'm confused, where is the other fuse? Thanks guys!

On the 03 SD, the power point is fused by F4 (under dash). It's a direct line from the fuse panel to the power point, there are no other branches, splices, or loads in that circuit.

wow, ok... i wonder if the OBD2 fuse being out (if that's the case with my power point) then maybe that's why no trouble codes are being sent, and no engine light is coming on... see... my truck keeps dying, and i cannot restart until it cools about 10 minutes, but no codes are ever sent. think i'm on to something? I'll check that fuse. i have the little owners manual that will show it. thanks!
sorry for the double-post, didn't know it sent the first time.

problem solved. i need to install an idiot light on my forehead. when i checked the #4 fuse, i evidently did not count right. #4 fuse was missing, so i had actually checked #3. thanks for supporting someone that needs to go back to basic math.

JR, that warning you have is perfect for me. i should hang that up at work! I have told people like my boss, feel free to give me work, lots of it, anything, but geezus, don't tell me how to do it. If you know how i should do it, then just do it yourself

The power point point is fused separately from the cigar lighter. The OBDII port is powered by the cigar lighter, not the power point fuse.
See the owner's manual to determine which receptacle is which.

I was about to say check the power point itself because the solders on the back will frequently crack/seperate witch vehicle bounce/flex. Glad it was just a missing fuse. Question is who pulled it lol.
