TimGrz Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 2013 Taurus Damn generic cell phone charger!!! I blew all three of my 12v accessory outlets while on vacation. Just got back (to snow ) I was able to find, and replace, the 20A "cartridge maxi fuses" for the accessory outlets that are located in the center console (#9) as well as the one for the rear seat area (#20)-- both in the fuse box under the hood. But I am unable to locate the fuse that is for the 12v accessory outlet that is located in the dash from the manual(s). I haven't yet gone and started pulling random 20A fuses to run continuity tests on them, but figured I'd ask here first before I went to that length. Here are links to the manuals, maybe I am missing it: Fist Printing - Starts on page 271 - http://www.motorcraftservice.com/pubs/content/~WODTAU/~MUS~LEN/42/13tauom1e.pdf Second Printing - Starts on page 276 - http://www.motorcraftservice.com/pubs/content/~WODTAU/~MUS~LEN/42/13tauom2e.pdf And while I am asking dumb questions. I want to add accessory outlet and LED lights inside the trunk area. I noticed that there are "unused" slots in the fuse box. Can these be utilized to keep a clean factory look? Thanks. /tg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash712us Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Can't help you on fuse locations, but as to the empty spots in fuse box I suppose you could make use of them but there are no terminals in them. Meaning there is no electrical terminals to hold on to a fuse in those blank locations. But that not to say it can't be done, just don't know where you can get those terminals.

SHOdded Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Looks like #27 fuse in power distribution box in engine compartment (cigar lighter) may be a possibility for indash 12v outlet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimGrz Posted March 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Looks like #27 fuse in power distribution box in engine compartment (cigar lighter) may be a possibility for indash 12v outlet. Good catch. I would bet that is it. I was looking for "cigarette lighter" and zipped on past that. Thanks for the keen eye. I'll post one way or another to close out this thread once I get home tonight to do it. Thanks again SHOdded. /tg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHOdded Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Sure thing. I guess the manual is reflecting "upper class" values, having cigar instead of cigarette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimGrz Posted March 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 #27 it was. I read those few pages several times. Slowing down and forcing myself to read each word. But I was still looking for "Accessory", "12-volt", "cigarette", "power outlet", and my mind reFUSEd to see the obvious. Thanks again! /tg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
