Power outlet circuit location

MJockey · Dec 22, 2022

I have a fuse labeled Power Outlet in my 2018 Power Wagon. I would like to use it to power some accessories but can’t seem to locate it. Does anyone know where it is? I only see the Cigarette Lighter outlet that is in located in the dash. It’s is a separate fuse.

That's actually one single fuse that can be set two different ways. In one position it is key on, move it to the other position and it is constant battery power

Yup, prob.

Yes it‘s one fuse but where is the outlet?

If equipped, rear seats, back of console

You can see in the wiring diagram how the power is provided by which slot you have it in, 90 or 91. That power is routed either to the back of a center console or to the power block inside the fold down center armrest. Since a 2018 Power Wagon doesn't have the center console it's the block in the armrest.

This is what the outlet inside the armrest looks like. No 12volts

@RAZ175 I can't quite read the wiring diagram you posted. Can you tell me what the wire color is suppose to be? Thanks

So I have a 2017, and I thought the interior was the same between 2017 and 2018, but where you have a USB-C port, I have a 12VDC outlet (cigarette lighter style). So either Ram got forward-thinking and swapped the 12VDC outlet for a USB-C port ahead of the competition (largely - I say this because my wife's 2019 F150 does NOT have a USB-C port in it anywhere), or someone has swapped out your outlet panel for an updated one. Did you buy the truck new or used?

I bought it new but both ports are standard size USB. No USB-C port.

Ah. At first glance the right one looks like USB-C. Looking closer I see it is not.

Regardless, my '17 has a 12VDC outlet where you have your 2nd USB outlet. So evidently there were more changes between those two years that I thought.
