Have the split bench 40/20/40 with the media hub inside the center rest. Use is almost daily until last weekend when it quit working. Plugging my iphone/ipod etc in does nothing. Tried new cable and still nothing. (Does not charge or play)

Is there a fuse somewhere for this?

Easiest to check would be pulling the head unit out and making sure the usb didn't come out of the back. Or if you have another usb somewhere in the truck, try that to isolate it to the console.

Have you done any work to the truck ?
Any software updates ?
Have you been to the dealer for any reason lately ?

Troubleshooting wise it would be pretty straight fwd , if the mini USB "grey I think" is good at the back of the radio , then check the back of the media hub , if I remember correctly there's two plugs on the back , it's not to difficult to get to , but you do have to pop the drink holder apart and pull the carpeting out of its groove .

Does it still light up? If not, check the 3 plugs nearest the center hump under the front of the drivers seat.

Actually check them even if it doesn't light up. The power plug is separated from the signal plug to the radio.
