Hey guys,

The passenger side power outlet stopped working....driver side is fine. 2005 Express 2500. I checked the fuses (according to the owners manual)...and all appear to be good....although I worry from reading other posts that these may be on different circuits, which would make sense since one is and one is not working. I don't own the factory manuals for this car. Any comments or suggestions? Does anyone have the factory wiring diagram to tell me the correct fuse for each?

Thanks, Ross

Hi Ros. I have the 06 and the left side did blow a fuse, #30. I removed this fuse and that fixed the right side.

Then the right side quit working again a few days later and I checked the fuse #29, and just removing the fuse and putting it back in fixed the right side power outlet.

this doesn't make any sense at all but that's what happened.

Any suggestions from anyone?

My plug for my serious radio was bad. The driver side cig lighter blew another 15 amp fuse so I bumped that up to a 20 amp. ( I never used that one because I quit smoking 4 years ago) The passenger side fuse was already a 20 amp.

by the way it was a pain opening that fuse box under the hood. you can use a piece of wire to pull open the latches.

edit: the cig lighter and passenger side power have separate fuses on the 06 #29 for passenger and #30 for cig.

I don't know why my cig fuse blew out, but hope the 20 amp is ok to use.
