Default 2010 Dodge Caravan Power Outlet #2 (Batt/Acc select) stopped working suddenly

My Caravan’s battery always live outlet suddenly stopped working.


I bought a 12v heater that pulls 150w. The live power outlet is the only spare outlet so I turn it off when I get out of the car. I forgot to turn the heater off ran on battery for 5 mins and the power outlet no longer works. I checked the fuses, replace the fuses M7, M6. The two ignition outlet works and that’s including the second row ones.

I check the M7 fuse slot and there's no voltage.

I did a hard power reset as well. No one else seem to have this problem.

Did you check all fuses for power and ground? And are you using a test lamp, power probe or load tester?

The fuses are switch around with working fuse outlet and confirmed all fuses are working.

I have a voltmeter. I connect positive one side of fuse slot and the other to negative ground. There’s no voltage.

You could have a wire that has back out of the slot in the PDC/Fuse box. I would do a continuity test on that circuit and make sure you don't open circuit.

It happened again. This time on outlet 3 and the fuse is also not blown. Could the wires have melted?

I haven’t remove the fuse box to check wires yet.


update:
It was the Ecoflow. I had to limit the input to 6A instead of 8A and no fuse blown.

Alright so I finally bought the replacement outlet and the tool to get it out. There’s continuity in the old outlet and there’s voltage so I plug it back in and it works. Same goes for the live Power Outlet, unplug and replug and it started to work. I made sure to test it before I unplug and it wasn’t working.
