I doubt the wiring is there. AFAIK, you have to have the power convenience group for that outlet to be there. In place of the driver side one is the control for the power mirrors and the outlet gets moved to the pass side.

 

I've been wondering how to do this as well. Was thinking if I could find the stock part for the outlet then piggyback it off the drivers side. Hoping someone has the answer.

 

I went by the dealer today and the parts guy ordered what I hope is the correct outlet. He quoted me $20 for it. The service writer said he is 75% sure the wiring is in place behind the dash to plug and play. We shall see...

 

That would be awesome. Let us know your results and the part number.

Thanks!

EDIT: nevermind, this is the 115v outlet - I misread.

I found the part on a fiche earlier. If the wiring is there... hell yeah, I want it too. But... I think you need the inverter module in addition to the outlet.

No, I'm talking about the "cigarette lighter" on the dash. 12v dc. If you've got ideas/input I'd love to hear it.

 

So I'm trying to figure this out. I got the power outlet from the dealer but the wiring is not behind the dash. I'm thinking about using a fuse box tap for power but it is only rated for 10 amp. Does anyone know it that is enough for power things like gps, phone charger, etc?

 

Can you tap into the other outlet?

 

I could but I would rather not cut wires if I don't have to.

 

You can tap into wires without cutting them.

 

Educate me. I'm not very good with electrical, I would love to hear more ideas.

 

Watching this one because I hate that dummy plug... Is the lighter outlet fuse seriously only 10 amp? I think they have been 20 on every vehicle I owned.

Probably fine for me either way since I don't smoke, but heating those ligher elements cherry red sure seems like it'd pull more than 10 amps!
