Default No power from 12V accessory port in center console

Hello All,

I am new to Club Lexus and new to the Lexus world. I just picked up a Riviera Red CPO GS 350 F Sport and really enjoying it. I do have one minor issue that I hope someone here can help me out with.

I am not getting any power from the 12V outlet in the center console. In most of the cars I have owned, I would have guessed it to be a fuse issue, but none of the fuses seem to be marked as such.

Does anyone have any advice on how to fix this?

Thanks!

I would give your dealer a call about it.

Probably a good reminder for me to check for power on both of my 12V outlets as well.

The ignition must be on to power the DC outlets.

I'm pretty sure the fuse for the console outlet is on the passenger side kick panel.

I want to thank everyone for their replies.

I dropped by the dealer and asked about it. They suspected it was just a fuse and took it back into the shop to change it. (not bad customer service on a Friday at 4:30pm!)

Unfortunately, no blown fuses. I am also not getting power from the USB port. The tech wondered if it was the cable I was using, but I showed him that it worked just fine from the rear seat 12V port.

I'll be scheduling an appt to have it looked at in greater depth. I guess the CPO process didn't quite check everything.

I suspect, like anything else, the CPO inspection process could be improved and it doesn't include every little function available on the car. They leave that up to the new owner to fully check things out
