Rear powerpoint not working
I have searched and searched and searched and everything i find isnt very helpful. I have a 2007 F150SuperCrew XLT 4.7L triton and the cigarette lighter and the front 12V power point work just fine but the back one isn't working at all. I have tried plugging in my radar, gps, cell phone chargers, anything i could get my hands on to see if it would work and nothing has worked in it. I have looked around online at the fuse numbers but some of the fuses it says are #67 and 68 are the ones that power the powerpoints but i am unable to find those fuses them selves. Any ideas as to what i could do to get this working again??

I don't have a SC and don't have a schematic so take this as just old-school troubleshooting.
I use a circuit tester and ohm meter and start at the socket. See if you have power at the connector to the socket, the socket could be bad. If no power in the wire, trace it back to (I assume) the next connector in the dash. Check for power there, then check the wire for breaks with the Ohm meter. At any point you find something else on the circuit, see if that works. Keep tracing back till you get to the fuseblock. Insure the fuse is good and getting power from the input side.
You can also test most fuses with a tester to insure a fuse isn't blown and is passing power.
I'm betting 1) fuse 2) socket 3) wiring - in that order. Good luck.

So I pulled the seat and it's hooked up and no blown fuses.... Possibly some bad wiring but not sure... I'm possibly going to buy a different one and Seperatly wire it into the truck so I have a rear working one
