Default 400 watt plug Not Working

I assume this is just a fuse issue? I popped the fuse box cover under the hood and found no guidance on the inside of the cover detailing what's what, like I have seen in other vehicles. Help.

Bump. Tens of thousands of users in here, and I'm the first guy to have this problem? 🤔

So I found out which fuse was for this (5amp micro at #35 in the passenger foot well), swapped it out, and the outlet is still dead!

Anybody have any ideas as to what else I can do to get this working?

Fuse 35 is just the control signal for turn on of the inverter. 5A time 12V equals 60watts of power not 400. The inverter gets it's incoming power from the Body Control Module fused at 60A under the hood, if that fuse was blown more things that just the inverter would not be working.

Perhaps this tech note applies to your issue, but you never mentioned if the inverter outlet is in the dash or the bed of the truck.

Thanks for posting that up David. Unfortunately, I'm out of the warranty time frame, and that doesn't look like something I can do myself, so I guess someday I'm going to have to pay the stealer/dealer to fix it.
