General 2014 POP 12v cigar port

[Louiefiat]

Hi, recently purchased a 2014 FIAT 500 pop.
The 12v port in the centre worked initially however has since stopped working.

I have checked the fuse F15 under the bonnet but it is missing - not just the fuse but also the terminals it should go into. I’ve checked many times this is the correct fuse location. I have only found one thread online with the same problem but it had no solution.

Any knowledge / suggestions would be great - hoping to not have to check every fuse location with a multimeter !!!

Try fuse 85 under bonnet 15A on earlier cars fuse 15 is for the electric roof?
Check there's not a coin in the socket too?

Thanks for the reply

85 is for rear defroster? - https://www.startmycar.com/gb/fiat/500/info/fusebox/2014
Unless maybe I've got something all wrong with my fuse diagram searching

Nothing inside the port

Its possible they updated to fuse box this is up to 2012, check each 15A fuse under bonnet?

Just pulled all fuses under bonnet (inc. non 15amp just to be sure) and all okay!

I guess I’ll have to have a play around with a multimeter later but not sure it’s going to be easy.

Could be under dash fuse box, are you sure the socket is not live, rather than the plug not fitting correctly?

Fixed it now
Checked the socket with a multimeter and turned out I had 12v, but whenever load was applied dropped to ~1v. Removed the trim/socket and there was very high resistance between the ground cable to the socket and the ground of the socket itself - I think some water got in and caused some corrosion where the terminal joins to the socket. I soldered a better connection and all fixed now!

Thanks John for the help all along
