Hey all

So I blew my 12V stock outlet when I was using a power inverter out in the field. Checked the fuse, looked good. Tried to pull out the 12V well, and can't figure out how to get it out of there to look at the wiring. I think I can pull out the ashtray and go in through there, but I'm not sure. I'm not paying some stealership $150 bucks to fix a three dollar part. Anyone have any experience with this?

You need to pull off the whole trim piece, that encloses the radio, HVAC controls, and vents. Start by pulling off the AC buttom, and 4 slide buttons on the HVAC controls. Then pop of the HVAC control piece that has the hot/cold, defrost, etc. Actually, check the write ups, it's the same manner you'd use to change the stereo. The back of that 12 volt plug is prone to coming off in my experience.

Ok, so I took apart the console and found the plug that attaches to the cigarette lighter. Problem is, there's no juice at the plug. So now I'm thinking I blew a wire somewhere, but I can't find a good wiring diagram to help me chase it back to the relay near the battery. Anyone got any ideas?
