Fuse for dash accessory outlet.

2013 Taurus

Damn generic cell phone charger!!!

I blew all three of my 12v accessory outlets while on vacation. Just got back (to snow )

I was able to find, and replace, the 20A "cartridge **** fuses" for the accessory outlets that are located in the center console (#9) as well as the one for the rear seat area (#20)-- both in the fuse box under the hood.


But I am unable to locate the fuse that is for the 12v accessory outlet that is located in the dash from the manual(s). I haven't yet gone and started pulling random 20A fuses to run continuity tests on them, but figured I'd ask here first before I went to that length.

Here are links to the manuals, maybe I am missing it:

Fist Printing - Starts on page 271 - http://www.motorcraftservice.com/pub.../13tauom1e.pdf
Second Printing - Starts on page 276 - http://www.motorcraftservice.com/pub.../13tauom2e.pdf



And while I am asking dumb questions. I want to add accessory outlet and LED lights inside the trunk area. I noticed that there are "unused" slots in the fuse box. Can these be utilized to keep a clean factory look?


Thanks.

I would imagine that all the fuses should be listed in the owners manual. And really there is no need to remove every fuse if you have a multi meter. Just probe the little exposed parts on the tops to check for conductivity.

See my post above. As stated I looked in two versions of the owners manuals and it doesn't seem to be listed.

The cartridge **** fuses have solid tops so no "little exposed parts" on the tops.

Neither one of the links above worked for me.
