thanks!

I have tested all of the fuses, pulled the dash and checked the well and made sure I was getting power. With a circuit tester, I get power . I assume one side is power, one is ground or do both sides of the plug get power?

Thanks!

That did the trick on my 2007 4runner.

Thank You!

Hey all, sorry to resurrect an old thread, but figured that was better than starting a new one.

I have the same issue. Both "cig" adapters are out. I checked the "ACC" fuse (7.5A) and the "CIG" fuse (10A) before finding this thread. And by "checking the fuse", I had the key on and checked for power at both sides of the fuse.

I saw the posted schematic (thanks for that), but could not locate the 15A POWER fuse. I do have a 30A power fuse, but that is for the power windows, which work...so I don't think that's the correct one. I also could not find the "DC SKT" relay, so I'm wondering if that schematic is from a different Gen.

OH, and I looked in the fuse block in the engine compartment and couldn't find anything that might work.

Would appreciate your thoughts, I'll keep looking. I have the inverter, and that works...so not a huge rush, just wanting to get my rig working like it should. Figured this would be an easy one.

Thanks!

Never mind. I'm stupid. I was so focused on finding a 15A "POWER" fuse, that I completely missed the 15A "PWR OUTLET" fuse.

Works now. Sorry for the interruption.

Does the same thing apply to a 1996 4runner? I'm having the same problem. Replaced the fuse and still don't work. Do I have to replace the cigarette adapter?

Pull the old one and check for power in the wires leading into it. If there's power and it doesn't work, then probably a good idea to replace. If there's no power, then something else is wrong.

Did you already check the fuses?

The cig fuse is not mated to the power ports. On the 2007 there is a power prt fuse 15 AMP. Replaced and fixed.

thank you for thread

This thread helpled me find the problem which was a bad spring in the adaptor.

Hi there,

My 2 week old, 2018 4Runner has the same issue of blown 15A fuse in the "P/Outlet" fuse location.

I am only running one cell phone plug in the center console location; nothing else. No other electrical work (read add ons). Every time I replace the 15A fuse, it blows when I start up the truck. I replaced the fuse three times, and it blew each time.

Any thoughts?

I'm also trying to figure out what is wrong with my power outlets (front and rear 1998). The fuses are good and I wanted to check the power outlet relay -- located in the under hood fuse box.

Now the question -- how in the heck do you pull the relay out? I've really tugged on the relay with no luck, am I missing a release tab or something? Could it have arced the contacts and be stuck in the socket, what am I missing?

TIA, John
