Default Can't find the fuse

I can't find the fuse for the extra A/C plug below the cig lighter. Anyone know where it is or how it's labeled? I checked all the fuses inside the cab and all were good, except the 5 amp "spare" is this the one? the fuse is good but there is no power to it. could there be an inline fuse somewhere? Thanks in advance
Reb

look in the engine compartment, beside the battery is the power distribution box. black plastic box. it contains several fuses and relays. there's a map on the underside of the cover.

Power only goes to the "spare" when the relay in the tire detect's low pressure in the "spare".


Check fuse #4 on the side of the dash, should say power amp. If it's good, then maybe the wiring or the socket is no good.

All the fuses inside were good I'll check under the hood again but didn't see anything that listed the plug

I thought you might so just in case I let the air out of each tire just to see if it was working
when it never came on I changed the air while I was there

LOL!

When I replied on Sunday, I had just gotten back home from a Halloween party that had a lot of beer. I actually went to my truck and looked in the PDC and the fuse box in the cab and saw power amp. But I guess I missed the one in the PDC. And no! I was not driving.
