Default 2011 XLT Electrical Gremlins

Anyone been experiencing electrical gremlins in their 2011 F150? Specifically my 12V outlets stop working randomly. I have replaced the fuses for my 12V in the front and my cigarette lighter and both appear to be working...however my rear 12V outlet (in the center seat / console) has stopped working, changing the fuse did not work. Anyone know what the problem could be? I have not plugged anything other then brand name cell phone / gps chargers in the outlets so I doubt they could be the reason it isn't working.

Thanks in advance.

I've had a 2008 and a 2011 crown vic and in both of them the radio would, and still does, increase volume on its own. I know others that have had the same problem. Its just a ford thing I guess. For you problem I would try pulling out the power socket and checking the for back for loose wires. at least pull them off and try to crimp thim down tighter.

Now that's a weird problem. I've seen a couple fords in the past that would stall when the trailer brake controller was used.

US-STIG, Those cars should have speed compensation, is that the volume increase you're talking about?

Every now and then my left side windows don't work and I have to stop and restart the truck to get them back.

Wish I had a chance to use mine! The only time they get any action is in the car wash.....
