I've searched a few days before making a thread as I came up empty handed on this question. My rear 12v power outlet is not working. From my search I was able to find a PDF file with all fuse locations BUT it didn't have anything about the outlet. (unless I missed it) question is, where is the fuse and could it be the fuse that's causing the loss of power?

Car is 2 weeks old (to me it's a used 08)

yeah there are two fuses, if i recall it is number 71 and 72 and they are 15A. Better check your fuse map (in the spare tire kit).

The fuses are located in the trunk right side

Hello
I guess I've checked with the ignition on, because otherwise, both to take the glove, as the rear no power.

Greetings and sorry for my English.

Wasn't able to check that fuse yet as it's been raining cats & dogs out, soon as it eases up I'll check that out. Thanx again for the suggestions.

Rear 12v power outlet not working
Have spent a frustrating few hours trying to figure out why the rear (cargo) cigarette lighter socket has no power on my 2009 ML320 CDI. Front and Centre ones both work fine. Fuses all fine (#44, #45, #46) Haven't checked the fusible links under the cargo area, but I am assuming they wouldn't be for the 12V socket anyway? Any ideas????

Where is this rear cargo outlet on the sedan? I never noticed one.
