Need help! Not sure which fuse to replace on my '06 997 S

Was wondering if someone can point me in the right direction to replace a fuse. The outlet in the center console and the other outlet under the glove box no longer has a power current going through it. I suspect its the fuse but when i look at the fuse box, i have no idea which one it could be.

Does anyone have any idea which one it is?

Thanks and appreciate your help in advance!!

If you have an owners manual go to the section on fuses. It shows what each fuse controls and where it is locared in the fuse panel.

Fuse diagram booklet is also attached to the inside of the fuse panel cover. Tool in included to help remove the small sized fuses. Will be a couple extra fuses in various sizes on the panel, to limit the need for a trip to the parts store. Keep in mind the fuses aren't supposed to blow unless something is amiss so if replacement doesn't set it right you'll need to have it checked out.

Plugging the air pump or other high wattage users into the foot well plug will cause the fuse to blow.

Thanks for everyone's info. The booklet in the fuse panel is missing, do you know where and/or how I can order a replacement fuse manual?

12 volt sockets are fuse F8. Cigar lighter is F10. I love a good mystery.

Sorry, row A Fuse 8 and row A fuse 10. Row A is top most row of fuses. Fuse 8 is 7.5 amp and fuse 10 is a 15 amp fuse. Gave you both just in case.

I found out which fuse slot is having the issue. Its slot A8. I put in 3 different fuses (7.5) and they all pop (short out) the moment i inserted the fuse. Is this something that is easily diagnosed or should I take my car in to get checked?

A8 is just the plug socket. It protects the plug in the passenger foot well and in the console. I'd check to see if something is wedged or stuck inside that is causing the short. Did you have something plugged into one of them before you noticed the lack of 12 volts?

Use a flash light to see is something metallic is inside the plug causing it to short out. Might be the actual plug itself. You need to do some close examination and if you can't see or find anything contributing to the short you'l have to pay someone else to find it.

Also check and see if the socket got twisted/rotated when a plug was removed by it being twisted.
