RE: How to hardwire 2 x USB ports into the glove box for dashcam/phone - tucpal - 15:th-Mar-2016
There are two fuses
How to hardwire 2 x USB ports into the glove box for dashcam/phone - Nemo - 15:th-Mar-2016
Fuses 6&7? Checked them both and replaced them both
RE: How to hardwire 2 x USB ports into the glove box for dashcam/phone - tucpal - 15:th-Mar-2016
some power sockets have 3 wires but yours has 2
i dont have the handbook anymore at hand but you need to read all fuses and look anything eles linked to the others
How to hardwire 2 x USB ports into the glove box for dashcam/phone - Nemo - 15:th-Mar-2016
I bet there's nothing. I'll pull every fuse out and check them
RE: How to hardwire 2 x USB ports into the glove box for dashcam/phone - bhalay207 - 15:th-Mar-2016
I think that's your best bet mate. I've just looked at the manual and it only says about 6&7

Yeah I've looked at mine too, only mentions the two, 6 for front and 7 for rear. Neither are working and I've replaced the fuses for them. I'm so confused and stumped. I even undid everything that I did in the first place too
RE: How to hardwire 2 x USB ports into the glove box for dashcam/phone - sheppy1 - 15:th-Mar-2016
Is it an option you could have fried the wiring or the 12v socket itself? Or would something like that also have triggered the fuse to blow?

The fuse would have gone. I've not introduced any more current though
RE: How to hardwire 2 x USB ports into the glove box for dashcam/phone - cornishtaz - 15:th-Mar-2016
Check fuse 16 in glovebox and fuse 17 in rear fusebox if fitted
How to hardwire 2 x USB ports into the glove box for dashcam/phone - Nemo - 15:th-Mar-2016
Checked 16 previously and it's fine, not done 17 @cornishtaz
RE: How to hardwire 2 x USB ports into the glove box for dashcam/phone - sheppy1 - 15:th-Mar-2016
What about that blue plug that goes into the back of the socket... Did you remove that when doing the work? If so did you put it back in the correct way?

Yeah it only goes one way
RE: How to hardwire 2 x USB ports into the glove box for dashcam/phone - cornishtaz - 15:th-Mar-2016
Also the manual mentions fuse 26 in glovebox
RE: How to hardwire 2 x USB ports into the glove box for dashcam/phone - bhalay207 - 15:th-Mar-2016
26 is for if he doesn't have a box in the back isn't it?

Best will be to pull them out 1 by 1 and check them
How to hardwire 2 x USB ports into the glove box for dashcam/phone - Nemo - 18:th-Mar-2016
Checked all fuses, they're all fine, replaced the relay switch for the 12v sockets and it's still not working
I'm stuck

Have you tried taking negative off battery for 15mins? Maybe worth a try??

@Nemo do any of your power outlets work?

Yeah they all work now @cornishtaz but thanks anyway, also my camera isn't usable in USB mode as it think I'm plugging it into a computer when I do that
RE: How to hardwire 2 x USB ports into the glove box for dashcam/phone - cornishtaz - 25:th-Mar-2016
What was the issue @Nemo
How to hardwire 2 x USB ports into the glove box for dashcam/phone - Nemo - 25:th-Mar-2016
Well I didn't have a multimeter so I went and bought one and it turns out the adapter had blown for the cam
RE: How to hardwire 2 x USB ports into the glove box for dashcam/phone - sheppy1 - 25:th-Mar-2016
So you didn't try the socket with other devices to make sure it wasn't just the camera charger?!

What are the odds of that eh! glad it's sorted though

That's madness. At least it's working now.

Not heard of the 09** version. I can highly recommend my 'wedge' cam for being discreet
