Centre console fuse F104

[Blind Dog]

I was looking to keep the USB power in my centre console permanently on so that I can keep an iPad charged in there. My understanding is that these outlets are currently only on for 60 mins after the key is removed.

A quick check of the fuse layout tells me the IP/centre console is on fuse F104. Only thing is, I don't have a fuse in slot F104. It's empty...see image...and yet I do have power to the instrument panel and console.

What gives?

Try spot 90/91

Nope, it's not that one. 90/91 is for the USB port in front of the rear passenger seats, but I don't have that particular port in my Tradesman. I tried it out, but no, it's not a part of the USB circuit internal to the CC either.

Going backwards on this. Turns out the USB port is only live for 60 secs (not mins) upon opening/closing door unless key is in ignition.

Reading other forum posts it sounds like it's not possible to keep the USB port live without the key in.

Ah well.
