How to hardwire 2 x USB ports into the glove box for dashcam/phone

[tucpal]

There are two fuses

[Nemo]

Fuses 6&7? Checked them both and replaced them both

[tucpal]

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

[Nemo]

I bet there's nothing. I'll pull every fuse out and check them

[bhalay207]

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

[sheppy1]

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

[cornishtaz]

Check fuse 16 in glovebox and fuse 17 in rear fusebox if fitted

[Nemo]

Checked 16 previously and it's fine, not done 17 @cornishtaz

[sheppy1]

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

[cornishtaz]

Also the manual mentions fuse 26 in glovebox

[bhalay207]

26 is for if he doesn't have a box in the back isn't it?

"Power outlet load compartment (if no load compartment fuse box) (Sports tourer only)"

Best will be to pull them out 1 by 1 and check them

[Nemo]

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??

Hmm very strange mate, I've just ordered the things I need. I can't be bothered with having this sort of problem.

You'll be fine if you do it my way and not whatever random way @nemo did it

@Nemo do any of your power outlets work?

[cornishtaz]

This may help

[Tonto]

Haha I guess so @sheppy1 I'm doing my dash cam and dual USB socket tomorrow, didn't get chance on Wednesday!

Ahhh was gonna ask you about that the other day! Sure you'll have no issues mate top mod as I say and looks factory fitted!

Yeah I can't wait, I had a couple errands after work and didn't get round to it, had the bairn lastnight as Mrs was at work and to it I've not been bothered haha

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

[cornishtaz]

What was the issue @Nemo

[Nemo]

Well I didn't have a multimeter so I went and bought one and it turns out the adapter had blown for the cam

[sheppy1]

So you didn't try the socket with other devices to make sure it wasn't just the camera charger?!

[Nemo]

I did, I had one other and I must have blown it too

[sheppy1]

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

[bhalay207]

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

What cam are you thinking of mate?

[Rusty2009]

I have 0805 already for the front so looking at getting another for the rear or getting the update 0903

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