accessory wires in bed - no power

[Decayed]

So I finally got around to trying to install a 12v outlet in the bed using the accessory wires. No bueno they have no power and a voltmeter reads zero with the engine running. Aside from the fuse does anyone have suggestions as to what could cause this?

I spotted a loose wire on the drivers side under rear wheel housing on top. I still don't know what it is, but maybe that's the connection for the outlet

That’s the release for the gas door, that you are probably seeing.

LOL I forgot about that thread thanks.

Weird thing though, I wonder why that dude's fuse blew?

Did you ever figure this out? I’m having the same problem with no power to the pigtail accessories. I checked all 20a fuses under the hood including #84, and they all look fine.

Bad fuse 84, The question is, why was the fuse blown when nothing was ever connected to it? Never did figure that out.

Try replacing the fuse anyway, you never know if it's a bad rather than blown fuse.

I’ll give that a shot. Thanks for the reply.
