Auxiliary Power Outlets Problem

[Agostino]

good morning
thank you for excepting me on the forum.
We own a 2013 Nissan Xterra that we bought in 2014 I also have the first bottle that came out in the year 2000 and kept it for 14 years!!

lately some of the auxiliary power outlets are not working.
there are four in the car and we now only have two working
The USB power outlet also stopped working.
Do the 2013 models have only one fuse i can verify or are there are several to verify?
I will start looking into it this morning thank you for your help

open the lower glove box, to the right there is a small fuse panel. It should be one of those. There is a chart on the back of the fuse panel cover.

There is one missing under the puller...

The 10 is ok not burned

20 underneath the 10 is burnt!

Spares.... not the same?

original on the left
spare on the right not sure it would work probably not ,,,

Seems to work

is it OK if the fuses don't have the exact same shape? these ones seem a little longer but they are 20 and fit

They are interchangeable, so yes they will work.

Make sure they are same rated Amps.
Check the Sockets in the rear corner panel. One fuse, also controls the Trailer plug lights. I think its a 10amp, under Hood In the Fuse box.

Welcome to the forum! Lots of great info and knowledgeable folks 'round here..

Did the new fuse fix your dead outlets?

I keep a bag of spares and some needle nose pliers in the back in case I need to change one. The factory fuse puller has been useless since day 1 on mine for some reason.

I use a TicTac container for spare Fuses.. works good. have not blown a fuse in over a year... a good thing!.

I'll have to remember to keep my spare fuses in a TicTac container so I don't blow any fuses either.

That's it ................I'm throwing away the Mento's container !!
