Both cigarette lighters fused out from a dodgey plug.. Front socket sorted with a simple fuse replacement. The second socket next to the USB and Audio jack is still dead.. is this a separate fuse? I'm struggling to find it anywhere on the fuse box diagrams I have. FL2 2012.. |

I think that one only works with the ignition on. |

The rear socket beside the audio jack is permanently live, at least it is on my 2008 model. |

Each of the power sockets are individually fused. You probably most likely burnt out a bit of the copper on the printed circuit board.

Following this as my front socket has no power where the rear and luggage space sockets do…

I have the MY13 model, & all 3 circuits turn off after a few minutes of turning the car off.

i only realised it (front 12v socket) wasn't it working when the SatNav shut down after around an hour into a 200 mile to Wales.
I'll replace that one - a bit worried that the clip on the glovebox damper ison its last legs and another dismantle may be its last . Simon of Powerful UK seems to think the damper is a Ford Mondeo part which may be a solution to that problem. (Once I can find a Ford part number).
Where is the [burnt out???] PCB to be found? Perhaps I'll live with no front 12v socket as both the centre socket and the USB port power the Satnav & charge our phones. Thanks for the pointers. |

Thanks Lightwater… having read through your linked thread, I am entirely cured of any 'I'll fix it' notion that I may have been malevolently afflicted with.

Are you sure that you have used a good serviceable fuse and/or you have definitely changed the correct fuse.

Same herewith my 2007 HSE. I have just bought a twin USB A adaptor to plug into the rear socket that has blue led illumination, that stays on when the ignition is off. Can I leave this in place overnight without any devices connected without fear of draining the battery? |
