To find which fuse controls a specific outlet, you need to:
1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the best resource. It will have a fuse box diagram showing which fuse protects which circuit. Look for fuses labeled "Power Outlet," "Accessory," "Cigarette Lighter," or similar.
2. Check the fuse box diagrams: These diagrams are often located inside the fuse box covers themselves (usually under the hood and inside the passenger compartment). They should show the fuse layout and what each fuse controls.
3. Use a test light or multimeter: If you can't find the information in the manual or on the fuse box diagrams, carefully test each fuse in the relevant fuse box(es) using a test light or multimeter to see if it's receiving power. Always disconnect the negative battery terminal before working with fuses.
Important Note: A blown fuse often indicates a short circuit or a problem with the device plugged into the outlet. Replacing a blown fuse without addressing the underlying issue will likely result in the fuse blowing again.
