2000 Ford F-250 Diesel Lariat...

My power point access died quite a while back. This weekend, while goofing with the GPS, I looked into it. Its not a bad fuse. It seems terribly hard to get into it and even when I do, I'm not sure what I'd be looking for.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Thank you,
Perry

 

so you checked your cigarette lighter fuse?

 

The cigarette lighter works.

 

well, it was an idea. I have no idea on how to get it out. For mine the little panel that the power point and the 4x4 switch pop out exposing bolts that hold the center stack on.

That will just pop off exposing the stereo and stuff.

Not sure of your year.

 

The power point and the cigarette lighter are on separate fuses, just in case you didn't know that.

 

Yes. It seems the power point fuse is inside the engine compartment -- Fuse 10 as I recall. At least, that's what my books says.

 

Nope, learn something new everyday!

 

pedz --

Did you ever get this resolved?

I am having a similar issue, but mine is with the cigar lighter port. I tried to remove it today...after pulling the blown 20A fuse #12; but no go.

Anybody know how to remove the cigar lighter???

I tried by removing the trash holder hook piece...and getting access to the rear of cigar lighter port. But...could not remove it...

Any help would be appreciated!

My power point fuse blew and I replaced it. I then plugged an accessory into the outlet and as I plugged it in, the fuse blew again. Some power point sockets appear to short internally from other posting I have seen. I haven't debugged mine any further, butwill, someday.

 

Yes, they most certainly do....I skipped over that little step one time and over-analyzed the circuit for around 3 hours before figuring it out. Glad you didn't waste much time...hopefully

 

What I am curious about is how to remove the cigar socket???

I took the trash hook panel off...and was able to get at the back of the socket, but was unsure how to remove the socket. So...rather than breaking something...I installed the trash hook back.

Anyone know how to remove it?
