120V Outlet fuse replacement - 2011 Infiniti QX56

Well... because there can be several things that cause this issue, you want to start with the process of elimitation. Is your car powered on when you try and use the outlet? Most veichels will not allow power to the outlets when powered off.
Observe the outlet and remove any foreign objects from the outlet, there may be a fuse or metal from a broken acessory stuck in the outlet.
Start by pluging something that works into the outlet (like a cell phone charger wit an led to indicate power) locate your veichels fuse box as per instruction of the cars manual. Remove fuse cover and locate the fuse location of the outlet in question, often labeled power or accessory. Observe the ratings of the fuse and be prepared to replace it if need be (it's good to keep common spare fuse for your veichel in your glove,trunk,ect). Remove the fuse and use a fuse tester to test the fuse or look to observe if the fuse is blown, if so replace the fuse, if the led on the charger plugged into the outlet emit's light then you have solved your problem, and if not stop work and call a mechanic or post another question. There are other things you could do but nothing that I would advise without you asking.
good luck and thanks

Check the fuse in the instrument panel junction box, left side of dash panel. Tan color box, power outlet 1 or 2 15amp fuse.

1) many vehicles has various fuses for outlet power
2) you must go to the fuse box and check all fuses if are o.k see the diagram attached and test with a VOM
3) if the fuses are o.k you must dissasembly the dashboard, for to test the outlet for +12vdc with VOM, or another outlet power, and replace the labor is medium complicated, but you do not have a choice.Use carefully and remember to unppluged the terminal + of main battery.
Unless you want to go to the repair shop.

check under hood in black box usually found on driverside fenderwell. will have relays @ fuses.

There is a 25amp fuse in the fuse block under the hood. The block is
useuly located on top of the left front fender. I would check that first
before getting into the a/c d/c accessory pwr. control module.
Hope this helps.

your car only has 12volts, not 120v. 120v. is the power you have in your house. the fuse will be located in the main fuse pannel around and under the left side of the steering wheel. Refer to the owners manuel for its location.

if the fuse is good, then remove the outlet and check for power and ground at the outlet. If they are both there, then you need to replace the outlet. Also sometimes the outlet won't get grounded off of the casing so it won't work, which you also need to replace the outlet. nine out of ten times you replace the outlet.

it must be shorting out,dont put a bigger fuse than you have because youre going to have an electrical fire,instead check the wires to the outlet if ok just replace the outlet

fuse should be located the end of the dash drivers side
