Does anyone have a clear diagram of the fuse boxes on a 2011 Cayenne turbo that are responsible for all the 12 v AC Power Outlets as well as the cigarette lighter? I looked at the manual but of corse, it is not clear as to what fuses is responsible....
12v AC outlet under the glovebox
12vAC in middle consel
Cigarrette ligter in the middle
12v AC outlet in the rear
ciagratte lighter in the rear
It seems highly unlikely that all the outlets would be connected to one fuse. So - that to me indicates perhaps what you're plugging in looking at the outlets with may be what's actually at fault.
Of course if the item you're plugging in has a short circuit in it - and you went from outlet to outlet trying it out, you might have blown multiple fuses.
Outlet fuses
As I suspected - the outlets use 3 fuses, 38, 39, 40 on the right side fuel panel at the end of the dashboard. These are all fed from fuse #6 in the main fuse box. Let me go look at that..
Main fuse block over battery
OK - this is a hefty one - 40A fuse (big!) and it's located in the main fuse block that sits on top of the battery, which is under the drivers seat. To get to this one I believe you have to unbolt and tilt the drivers seat back. You'll find some info on doing that in threads that talk about replacing the battery. I can't imagine what would cause this fuse to blow since there are downstream fuses much smaller in size (10A, 15A) unless the large wire between this fuse and one of the downstream fuseholders (on the rightside dash fuseblock) got shorted somehow.
Just wanted to say thank you to the op and all who replied. The manual had me in the wrong row, and when I pulled the fuses, I was dismayed they were not blown and thought oh boy, this could be bad. My culprit for the blown fuse was a dime. Somehow, a dime found its way into the 12V outlet in front of the cup holders which is still baffling me cause the plug never comes out. Oh well, like I said, just wanted to say thank you.
