2023 F150 inverter issues.
no power coming from AC outlets in can and tailgate. All fuses look good. Maybe the wiring to the inverter is not drawing power from the battery?

The problem ended up being corrosion in a connection somewhere under the truck bed near the back is all I know. It took a while to figure out because when I first got the truck it was winter with snow on the ground and there were days were it was sunny and it was not working... It was not until the snow melted I finally saw a pattern that when it was wet out (ie raining) that it would stop working. I couldn't reproduce it just by washing it either, but once I noticed while I was out of town that it was working while sunny, then started to pour rain, then stopped and dried up and became sunny again, all while driving on the hwy did I notice it go from working to not working to working again...
Once we had this info I tried to take it in on a rainy day (friday), looked at the forecast, booked an appointment, and sure enough it didn't rain all day... But sure enough on Monday it did and stopped working so I took it right up to the dealer, they saw it not working and worked on it that day, sure enough finding corrosion in a connector under the truck bed. Ever since that I have not had a problem with it.
