Sorry if this has been posted before but I've just got an 09 zetec and the power outlet doesn't work but I'm not sure if its just the fuse but have no idea where the fuse box is or which fuse it will be.

That's part 1 second part if its not the fuse how hard is it to fit a new one? I can't see it being the outlet though as it looks new to me it doesn't look like its really been used so I'm almost certain it's going to be the fuse but just wondering if its been done?

Thanks in advance

Hi Michael,

First things first, nip to your dealer to pick up a new fuse. (Halfords etc that I tried didn't stock them - I think inath kindly searched a parts system for them and they were called J-Cases if my memory serves me correctly. They were little blue cubes).

I went through several but it later looked like it was a fault with the devices I was plugging in, as touch wood its been fine since.

Have a quick flick through this thread > http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/10614-m7-cigar-lighter-fuse/

Basically you need to empty your glove box, squeeze the sides in so it drops right down to reveal the interior fuse box behind.

Then replace the blue '20' fuse on the bottom row (shown below) - if its the same as my 2011 fiesta of course

Paul :)

Thanks for that sorry about the late reply.

It turned out to be different there was a little picture for me on the inside of the glovebox lid showing me the location of each fuse and luckily it was just a standard blade on my car not those weird cube fuses. I managed pick one up for 20p from a local motor factors.

As an aside if anyone reads this it was the slot above the 3rd 7.5 amp fuse I'm from that side next to the 15 on that third row up.
