Default Help! Dash power outlet doesn't work!
I just got a 2008 Ford mustang today and absolutely love it; however, I found one problem that is driving me crazy!! The power outlet on the dash doesn't work; therefore, I cannot plug up my gps. The power outlet in the armrest works perfectly. My first impression would be a fuse, but I don't know which one it could be. Anybody know what the problem could be, or where I should start?

Check your owners manual which fuse it is. My next guess would be check if its plugged in behind the power outlet.

Your car IS under warranty, right?

I had the same problem when I got mine. Turned out to be the fuse as well! Good fix.

Help yourself and get the owners manual
and check the fuse.
