2006 Dodge Dakota - power outlet doesn't work. The #28 fuse checks fine.

Take a 12v test light and wrap the probe with electrical tape, leave about
1/4" exposed. With the key on, ground the test light wire and insert the
probe into the outlet and touch it to the center power contact. If the light
stays out and you have a good ground, you don't have +power at the
outlet. If the fuse is good, you may have a bad wire or socket. But if it
lights up, we go to the next step. Touch the probe to a known +power
source and ground the wire to the metal side in the outlet. If you don't
get light, check the ground for the outlet socket. Repair as needed.
If it lights up, then you know you have power and ground. Check the
plug on the device you're trying to use. I hope I was of some help.
Good luck.

Fuse 28 goes to the power outlet then the ground side is located center front of body. Thats my only location description

Also the same ground is used for the heated seats if applicable...

If your heated seats still work then most likely the power outlet failed or the unit your plugging in isn't working.

Hi, Is the fuse on this circuit is reading 12 volts to the power outlet? If so, replace the power outlet. I'm assuming you are or hjave used this outlet frequently. They are prone to wear out over time. Thanks.

U need to check the connection at the back of the outlet usually the come u plugged but first u need atleast a test light to com firm a no power situation get back with me
