Someone awhile posted this greatness of the crock pot on road trips- We plan to do this on our next camping adventure- Dinner ready before we even set up the tent

Yes mine was not connected inside the rear wheel well behind the led box/inverter panel.

Thanks, you were half right. Crawled under the wheel well and there was the connector unplugged, dangling right in front of my face. Got my flashlight to find where it was to plug into. Fortunately the connector only worked in one orientation. Plugged it in. Started the pickup. No indicator light on. Plugged in a tool, no workie. Hmmm, must still be unplugged somewhere else. I've not figured out where the converter is. Or, did they completely leave it off. Really would like to sort this out myself, a trip to the dealer is time consuming.

Exactly. I didn’t want to be out of a truck for day(s) while the dealership take their time.

So I've never done anything with my 400W inverter until I was on the road the other day and needed to use it. Apparently I don't know how to make it work... or maybe it is broken/not working. How do I make it work?

I have seen where one is behind the back seat, not sure if that is for that or an upgraded sound system

Today I got into the fuse box and found the 60A fuse for the inverter and tested it. It was there and it was good. It was not easy at all to get into the fuse box, but maybe it was just me. I found one video that was finally helpful at how to get into the fuse box & put the thing back together:

Next stop the dealership.

As promised, finally got my Maverick EB into the dealership today to diagnose the problem with the power inverter, and here's the results. Connector C301 under the console was not fully connected. Thanks for all the suggestions from everybody.
