    My in-dash and console power ports have gone dead. Does anyone have a map of the fuse boxes that might show me where to look? The service manual is alarmingly void of any meaningful direction.

    If I am not mistaken, under the left side of the dash is a fuse box. Remove the cover and there should be a fuse map on the cover. Replace the fuse with quality fuse, not some Amazon junk.

    The fuse for the in-dash cigarette lighter port can be found under the dash to the left of the steering column. The fuse in question is a 15 amp low-profile mini blade fuse, and on the fuse box lid is labeled as "P/OUTLET NO. 1".

    How did you blow them? Any normal car charger shouldn't do that

    Thanks to everyone (I couldn't figure out how to thank each of you individually). Appreciate your responses. I found that fuse box. It was a bear to get down to pop the cover off and I bet it'll be harder to put back.

    [As it happens it was a "snap" to put back on]

    Now to see if my fuse puller works. Here's what the fuse cover looks like to anyone who may need.

    [The fuse-puller, that's supposed to come with your Taco when you buy it new, wasn't included. When I went to the dealership they gave me another puller 'cept not the right size (was too wide). So I still don't have either of those power outlets.]

    zDirtyDeedz - The only thing I have plugged in is my dash cam. I'm guessing that's the problem. I've had it since 2018 and never had a problem with it before, but i guess it's just getting old and crappy. Not terribly unlike the Throttle Commander I had for better throttle response. After a couple years it started screwing with my engine control computer and I had to take it out.
