Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Outlet, Power: Operation
12v Power Outlets - The power outlet receives battery voltage from a fuse in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) when the ignition is in the ON or ACC positions.
Universal Serial Bus (USB) Charge Ports - These are 5v charging ports only. Like the standard power outlets on this vehicle, the USB charge only port receives its illumination from a software driver located within the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC). These ports receive fused ignition switch output (RUN/ACC) and fused B+ from the PDC. These charge ports are serviced with the media hub. Refer to MEDIA HUB, REMOVAL .
