center console 12v outlet
are there any other fuses besides #1 and #7 that have anything to do with this, because the other day at the track my power inverter over heated and shut down. now my outlet has no power i checked some of the fuses but all were good, any idea?

Have you checked the inverter in another vehicle or from a known good 12V source? If it "overheated" as you say, maybe it's the inverter. Does the inverter have a reset button or circuit breaker? Check it out.

Fuse #1 (20 Amp) is the fuse for the Aux. Power Drop. It is grounded thru Splice Pack 201 at ground point G201. and is located in the I/P fuse block.
Try swapping the fuses between the #1 and #7 as they are both 20 Amp. If it continues to not function either the wiring got fried or the cigarette lighter plug is gone. Opening the console may well answer that question.

Fuse #1, in the passenger compartment fuse panel, is the only pertinent fuse to that particular power circuit. If you verified it's OK, the only other thing you can do is pull the lid off that small panel on the console (manually pops right off) and verify the connector is secure on the accessory plug. If it is, unplug it and verify if there is 12V on the orange wire. Also check the black (ground) wire to verify continuity to ground. They each must check OK. If the voltage and ground both check OK, you do indeed have a bad accessory plug socket (or the connector itself) creating the open circuit. If either the voltage or ground do not check out, you'll have to do some backtracking in the affected circuit(s) to locate the source of the problem i.e. broken wire, etc.
