Default Lighter inside console

I have used this to plug in my battery tender since i have owned my current. Went to plug it in and not getting anything for this source. Checked my cell phone charger and nothing there either. Plugged the tender into the lighter under the radio and it is good to go. But need to get the one in console working. Looked at the manual at the fuse section and could not find anything about this lighter. Thoughts please.

I believe the AUX PWR fuse is responsible for that socket. Located in the passenger footwell. See this article for location of fuse: https://fuse-box.info/chevrolet/chev...uses-and-relay It's been a while since I messed about in the footwell, but you may have to remove a cover that conceals some of the fuses, like where the AUX PWR fuse is located. I recall that some of the fuses are not immediately visible.

This is a picture in my manual. Unfortunately when i got under the carpet this is not what i found. Did not have the fuses on the far right side of this picture. Total blank space. So no auxillary power fuse.

There's got to be a cover that you can remove to expose the fuse that you want. I've circled it in red.


You may need to remove the big blue connector first. Not sure.

I think that fuse is for both lighters.
That would be what i would have thought also, but the one in console does not and the one under the radio does.

Here is a video of someone changing the cigarette lighter fuse, but it directly applies to your case. The AUX PWR fuse is right above the one he changes.
Note that he didn't need to remove the blue connector.

The are not, and you have the cig lighter fuse for the one in the ash tray under the HVAC controler, and the Aux fuse for the one in the center arm pad tray.

And after you remove the small cover where the lighter fuse is ... good luck putting the cover back on.

I spent 15 minutes one day trying to re-install that small cover, and then finally out of total frustration, I threw it in the garbage !

Good Riddance . .

In fact, I don't even know why they put a small plastic cover over the few fuses that are in there ... They never put a cover over all those other fuses in the large fuse block right next to it ? ? ?

I just unhooked my battery and unplugged the big blue plug, then changed the fuse. Mine wasnt going to come off unless I unplugged it.

Come to think about it ... I think I had to unplug that big electrical connector too in order to get it out of the way.

But the plastic cover was not going back on no matter what I did.
