I'm at nats and need to use the internal DC power adapter to power a data aquisition system, but we get no power right now, validated with a volt meter. We've tried two fuses in the CIGAR 15A fuse location in the fusebox located within the passenger cabin to no avail. Both fuses show continuity on a volt meter.

Is there another fuse I should be looking at, or another reason I don't have power there

1,000 thanks for any help!

I know my cigar lighter in the ash tray stopped working after I installed my head unit, likely simple wiring issue. I dont use it for anything so I have not gotten around to fixing it. So if the head unit was removed, you may want to take a look at that first. As a back up I found that there is an additional 12v source inside the arm rest, if you push it back and open it up there is a secret compartment (was a secret to me). Just an idea if you didn't already know about it... good luck!

Try playing with the dash dimmer too, my gauges are powered to the cigar lighter and I had problems when the dimmer was on the low setting

The hidden adapter worked. Thx!

You mean the accessory socket works? Both sockets are coming from the ACC relay.
If you don't have voltage to the CIGAR fuse holder, check the wiring from the holder to the relay.

Not only did I find that in there, but also a bottle of touch up paint from the previous owner... double score!
