Cigarette lighter now power

[Josh]

I have a 2014 Thor Hurricane 33G Ford v10 that has no power to cigarette lighters. I don't have a manual and can't find one online. Does anyone know where the fuse for this is located?

Could be in any of a few places, but I have a 2015 Windsport and I bet it is similar. If so, look under the "hood" way up to the right side by the windshield for a black box. It's the battery control center. In there is a 20 amp fuse for the power point (aka cigarette lighter) circuit. According to my fuse diagram it is F17. It's a bear to see and get at. A hand mirror might help.

Note: I believe there is also a 12v outlet in the flip top thing on the dash. This fuse may be for that or for all of them or, who knows with these things, none of them.

Thanks for the info CactusJuice. I found the F17 fuse that was indeed the power point fuse. It ohm'ed out fine and passed visual. I found 12 volt outlet under flip thing (I didnt know it was there) and it does'nt work either.

Bummer. Well, the F53 owners manual says there is a Ford fuse box (power distribution box) in the engine compartment. They show a fuse J3 for cigar and power point circuits in that. If the box is there, you should be able to locate it by following the pos battery cable.

They also call out another one that is supposedly down by the brake pedal but there is no powerpoint fuse in that one.

I will look into that hopefully tomorrow night and let
you know. Thanks again!

On my F53 chassis the Cigar lighter circuit in the Chassis power distribution panel located in the Engine compartment is Fuse #22, a 30amp maxi fuse. Yes, I did burn the fuse. Had to electrically verify the fuse was burned. The melted link was nearly impossible to see. I also tripped the circuit breaker located in the engine compartment. This happened while replacing nearly useless 12v power outlets with much more useful USB power outlets. Now I do not need to bother with the USB adapter in the 12v power outlet.

I just looked up the Ford 2014 F 53 owner's manual and is shows the same fuse as my 2018 F 53. Of course, that does not guarantee that Thor used that circuit on your coach. Here is the link to the 2014 owner's manual.
