Dead Cig/Power Outlet

**termnalvee** · 2021/01/10, 02:51 PM

hey all,

so my south african-built-for-latin-american-market 2016 XL has developed an issue. the front, right side cig/power outlet died. checked the owner manual and there appears to only be one fuse for both. fuse is fine since the left hand one works.

any ideas?

I would suggest you check at the back and trace the wires, at least to the left hand socket.

Maybe plug has packed up or wire /plug come loose.

There is 3 fuses not 2, each has a seperate fuse. Located in the engine bay, please check them again

Check fuse 10,16,17 - 10 and 16 would be the fuses for the front, 17 is the cargo fuse but might not applicable to your XL

so, apparently, the data i've been looking at was for older models. it now appears that fuses #10 and 20 are for the two outlets in the front console. my vehicle does not have a rear power port.

i'm several 1000 miles away at the moment so cannot verify. will check in a few weeks.

thanks for the help.

facelift. because ford is such a weird company, i'm stuck with not having real, reliable data on my ute. i was previously using what i discovered was an outdated shop manual. found a newer one for aussie vehicles, which of course is different.

rangers built for the latin american market in silverton are weird hybrids of what ford sells in other markets. e.g., while my ute on the outside looks like an aussie px2, the interior electrics and plastic are from a px1.

of course, i could always bring it to the dealer to have it sorted, but what fun would that be?

will be interesting to see / document the actual differences in terms of wiring etc. i know the recently released USA ranger is totally different to our SA and AUS spec Rangers. Even the pinout for the headlights differs completely which is kinda weird, i assume it is similar with your spec
