Faulty 120v 400w Outlets

[awpitt]

Hello,

I have a 2025 XLT 2.0L Eco with luxury package, AWD, and 4k towing. Bought it just over a year ago. The 120v 400w outlets (rear seat and cargo bed) have stopped working some of the time. When I start it up, the little yellow LED indicators come on then go out after a few seconds. Has anyone else experienced this? Any quick fixes for this? If I can’t figure it out, I’ll just take it to the dealer for my next oil change and have them fix the power outlet problem.

Thanks!

What are you plugging in?

What are you plugging in?

If the inverter trips, the yellow LED starts flashing. OP's LED just goes out so it isn't an overload

I don't even get a chance to plug anything in before the LED goes out.

For the new folks that may not quite understand what's being discussed.
I hope these photos help clarify.
My Maverick is in the on position ready to drive.

General info on Ford's 400W Inverters.

A DTC sets in the BCM when the general electrical fault is detected by the direct current/alternating current (DC/AC) inverter.

Possible Causes
• Fuse(s)
• Direct current/alternating current (DC/AC) inverter
• AC Outlet(s)
• Wiring, terminals or connectors

The 400W Inverter won't work if one of the outlets isn't sending feedback to the BCM via the outlet's LED.
If one outlet has a problem, the inverter turns off all the outlets.

Each AC outlet is equipped with an amber LED that indicates the system status.
The LED is illuminated continuously when the inverter is ON and the system is operating normally.

If the LED has a series of three flashes, the power point is overloaded.

The LED flashes constantly if the ignition is on and a fault is detected.

If the LED is off when ignition (engine running) there could be some system faults.

If at least one of the outlet LEDs is not electrically detected, the inverter will not provide AC output and will command the other Outlets LEDs to be off (in case the vehicle has more than one AC outlet).
