Toyota power outlet

Hi Troy,

Without seeing the ports of the car and the plug of your charger, it would be difficult to diagnose with any certainty. I do have a suggestion however. Your note suggests that other devices do not cause the fuse to blow when they are used - it is only the charger for the phone. Since the charger works in other cars, it is probably not an overload condition due to a defective charger, but more likely a mismatched set of contacts between the plug and power port in your car when the two are mated. Some cars have slightly different sized power ports that can be either too tight or too loose for some plugs. Too tight ports could be causing parts internal to the charger's plug or car's power port to short together and blow the fuse.

We can get around this be using a different plug. The easiest way is to find a cord set that will plug into your car's power port and provides a simple extension for 1, 2 or 3 outlets. These can be found in auto parts stores and the automotive departments of stores like K-Mart, Sears, etc. Some examples look like these:





Insert the plug into the power port - and check that the fuse does not blow by checking the fuse - not by plugging something into the the outlet on the cord. If the fuse remains good, then it is safe to assume that the problem with your charger and the car's power port has been eliminated, and the car's power is available at each of the outlets of the new cord.

Try plugging the charger into the outlet of the new cord. If all is well, the charger should be working as expected. What we have done is removed the charger / car power port combination from the equation, by providing a different combination to do the same thing - but without the same physical connection that causes the fuse to blow.

You could achieve the same results by changing the charger plug under the right conditions - but many chargers now a days have circuitry inside them that change the car's 12 volts to something different. If you can find the voltage out of the charger and are able to match it with another - it must be the same voltage, polarity, current and phone power connector of course - it should work, too. You must be absolutely sure of the power requirements and your rewiring - if not, stick with the addition of a cord described above.

I hope this helps & good luck!

Are you charging the phone and using it while on and plugged in? You may be pulling more juice than the amps rating on the fuses can deliver.

• Check the fuse first and then try to use other charger.
• And also check the fuse of the charger your using. Normaly there is a fuse inside it and just open it on the tip by turning it clockwise.
• If you have questions feel free to reply to this solution.

Hello. Check the fuse for that outlet in your avalon. Most likely the fuse is blown. J.

a defective outlet

the 3 cla charger might be your problem

You have a blown fuse that controls that circuit. Look for the POWER OUTLET fuse under the dash, and replace it.

check the fuses and if the fuses are ok than have the outlets replaced it is comman to need to replace thoes

I have a 2004 ION and the fuse is located behind the drivers side center console kick panel. The panel can be removed by tristing the large blastic screw near the left top of the kick panel. You can use a coin to do it. Once the panel is off relace fuse F20 and your god to go.

If you are sure the outlet is to blame and not the charger, it could get a little tricky trying to diagnose the wiring without a wiring diagram and a little electrical knowledge. I dont know if you were just sitting in your car or going down the road, but keep in mind some power outlets are switched off by the ignition key. Beyond those few thoughts, wouldnt hurt to have a qualified mechanic look at it, I've seen enough people screw up the computer when they thought they knew enough about wiring in vehicles and that is not cheap.
