ctoth Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 My interior power outlet for the lighter went out last weekend. I was wondering if it could just be a fuse? It was running a radar detector and a cell phone charger. The splitter came apart in the receptacle and I think it may have shorted it out and blew the fuse, if there is infact a fuse for it. Every other electrical component seems to be functioning inside the vehicle. My car is an '04 TS wagon. Thanks -Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctoth Posted June 12, 2006 Author Share Posted June 12, 2006 I haven't even checked my fuse box yet. I'll do that tonight. Hopefully that's all it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 The is a fuseable link in the socket if I recall. It is very common for Subaru owners to short this out with adapters. Pop out the socket and see if you have power to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byronc10 Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 I think the dash outlet is fused but the rear power outlet is a fusable link built into the socket unless they have changed the design since 96 do not twist push in pull out the twist is what always blows my honda fuse, also I do not think they show the rear power outlet in the wiring diagrams factory denial LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hohieu Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Like Cookie said, there is a bridgewire on the back of the front socket to prevent a possible fire in the front dash -- it's "L" shaped. You can replace with 60/40 solder or regular copper wire if you don't use it for a cigarette lighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
