Lariat powerboost with non-functioning 12v outlet on dash

[scuba]

I've got a Powerboost Lariat 501a (Mid) Trim with pro power onboard and 40/20/40 front seats (no console), so it has a 12v (cigarette lighter-type) outlet near the Usb and USB-C ports. This outlet is not live, and when I checked the fuse, the circuit is also not live at the fuse box (it was #32 or 34 under the hood).

Anyone else have this problem? I saw some discussion of how the higher powerboost trims lacked a front-seat 12v outlet, and I'm concerned that maybe the outlet wasn't wired-in or something in mine. Since I'm the only person on the planet with this configuration and the front bench, I feel like something weird like that is possible.

Yeah on my Lariat (w/o bench) there isn't a 12V on the dash but one at the rear of the center console, which you probably don't have.

In any case, sounds like you should bring it in to be warrantied.

Either way you need to take it in. But which ProPower do you have? The 7.2kW units will be missing that circuit. There is normally a breaker where that 12v port is.

I've got the 7.2kW pro power. You're mostly right-- I've got a breaker above the 110v outlet where you'd normally expect a 12v, but separately, I've got a 12v cig lighter outlet in the lower center of the dash next to the USB ports. (It's where all you other guys have the console/shifter, but where junior kicks his feet on mine when sitting in the front middle "20%" seat of the 40/20/40).

I've got the same 501A PB build with a bench, and will double check to see if this and the rear 12V works later today. And you're right, we're definitely in the minority of F150 owners.

Thx for checking. My rear one works. It'd save me some hassle at the dealer if you have a chance before 5pm (dropping off for their first appt sat morning, and it'd be one less thing on the list i have for them). Thx again.

Yes, both front and rear work, even without truck powered on surprisingly. Definitely sounds like warranty work.

Thx! Sweet over-the-hump weather tech. I'm putting mine in today, along with the amp research bed step in the back corner of the bed.
We're at the beach and the exposed 20% carpet in our FX4 trim is already full of sand.

They're nice. This is the third truck I've had them in.

Update: it was a disconnected connection behind the dash. Dealer found it without much heartache.
