How to get to 12v powerpoint on center console

[iamlunchbox]

Hello everyone,

I am new here and this is my first post. I just purchased a 2003 Expedition XLT with the 5.4L. My power port in the top of the center console is dead. The one on the passenger side of the console works fine. I checked the fuse and it is good so I'm guessing the port it self is bad. How do I remove this powerport? I removed the screw below it thinking I would be able to pull out the recessed area of the console but it doesn't appear that that will work. Any idea on how to get to it?

I took some pictures of my truck to post here but I'm not sure how to post pics yet so the truck **** will have to wait.

In case you were unaware, the top power point and the side console power point have different fuses. The top one shares a fuse with the obdII connector under the dash. Just to make sure you are checking the correct fuse

Yea, check your OBDII port fuse.

Just checked the obd fuse and its good. Looks like I have an afterwork project this week pulling the power port

You should have a rubber insert in that tray... Pull the insert and if I remember right it has two torx screws that hold it in.. Then it should snap out. If you cannot figure it out, let me know.. I have my old console in the shed and would be happy to snap a few pictures..

All fixed. When I removed the top of the center console I discovered it was unplugged. I checked for voltage, made sure the port wasnt shorted out and plugged it back in.
