That was weird. Wiring a GPS, and finding visitors.

[RCollins]

I wanted to better hide the wires from my GPS and Dash cam. So I removed the necessary panels, top tray, "entertainment" head unit and finished the job. While I had the glove box out, I decided I may as well change the cabin air filter. That turned out to be a good idea and mice had chewed holes through it in two places. The next surprise was when reinstalling things, I had the radio panel on the seat and accidentally leaned on the volume on/off knob on the dash. The radio started playing the station I usually listen to. What? BTW, the USB ports on the left side do not supply charging. I had to go back to the 12 volt socket for that, with an adapter.

Check the fuses for the usb ports

According to the owner's manual for the XLT version, the USB ports are for data trans only. There is no fuse for charging , only the 20 amp fuse for the Audio Unit. It tried to connect the GPS for data when I plugged it in, and got a message no charging available.

Odd, since ALL the USB ports in my 23 XLT provide charging, and only the one on the left of the center console provides data. Might be an issue with the cable your using to connect the dashcam??

I'll have to do some troubleshooting. I'll try a different cable.

see, you should've listened to the folks warning you not to remove the cat converter!

yes, IMO use quality cable & charger brands such as Anker, Belkin, Cable Maters. The link below is a previous thread that shows the fuse information. Good Luck in getting everything resolved.

It will charge my phone, so I don't know why I got that message the other day.
