I was driving down the road the other day when I noticed my phone was no longer charging. At times the USB plug would come loose from the outlet( the outlet looks kind of beat), usually I wiggle it and bam, magic happens and it works again, this was not the case this time. I wiggled the plug and nothing happened, so I started pulling it out right into my hand. Big mistake! The USB plug was burning hot, so hot in fact it the metal connectors left a burn on my hand. The outlet no longer works, I checked the 15A fuse located behind the glove box and it still carries a current and is not burned but my volt meter shows no power going to the outlet, with the car off and in all positions. I have heard through the grapevine that there is a fusewire connected to the outlet, is it possible that burned up? I purchased a new outlet I'm going to instal regardless since the OEM one is worn out. From what I have seen from research it seems I have to remove the center console to access the outlet and wiring? Is there an easier, better way to do this? I'm very mechanically inclined so this is a little repair for me but I don't like having to do more work than needed haha. If anyone has a link to a good repair write up or video I would forever be in your debt! :th_rockon1:
