Accessory Power Outlet The accessory power outlet (12-volt) is located inside the overhead console (if equipped) and at the rear of the front console (if equipped). If your vehicle is equipped with an overhead console, access the accessory power outlet by sliding the access door to the side. If your vehicle is equipped with a floor console, the power outlet is at the rear of the floor console. Remove the protective cap which covers the outlet. The outlet can be used to plug in electrical equipment such as a cellular telephone, CB radio, etc. Follow the proper installation instructions that are included with any electrical equipment you install. Certain power accessory plugs may not be compatible to the accessory power outlet and could result in blown vehicle or adapter fuses. If you experience a problem see your dealer for additional information on the power accessory plugs. The accessory power outlet will only operate when the ignition key is in ON and for 10 minutes after turning the ignition OFF. If you would like the accessory power outlet to operate regardless of ignition position, and for unlimited periods of time, see "Engine Compartment Bussed Electrical Center" in the Index or see your dealer. Leaving an accessory on for a long period of time, or a fuse in the wrong place, can drain the vehicle's battery. NOTICE: When using the accessory power outlet, the maximum load of any electrical equipment should not exceed 15 amps. 2-57
