    Hello guys, newbie here! I was wondering if anyone has had issues with the extra power outlets in your 2006 Toyota Tundra SR5? If so please share any tips you may have. On my Tundra the main cigarette adapter works however the truck comes with two additional plugs on the side labeled 12V 120w and one in the back under the right cup holder area. I have checked them several times but cannot seem to get power to them. I have checked fuses under the hood and checked the 15A fuse talked about in one post of the forum and the fuse checks good. Can you guys point me in the right direction? Thanks so much!

    Where do you have power at currently? At fuse? Is your problem between the fuse and outlet?

    The 15A fuse you checked, was that the one in the dash, looking at the fuse panel, far right, second one from the bottom? I was trying to upload a picture (have my friends '06 here right now) but photobucket was down.

    The body control module is also involved, since those outlets stay hot for 2 hours after key-off. I can't seem to dig up a diagram though.

    Are you checking them with the key in the accessory position? Mine (2011) do not work unless the key is turned on.

    Thanks for your replies... Landphil, yes it the fuse you described that I checked to be good. Where is the body control module located?

    Hello ColoradoTJ, Thanks for your reply. I currently have power at the fuse and the main power outlet next to the ashtray works fine, I just have not been able to get the other three power outlets to work. any special areas I should check?

    Hello Alalmcgrath, thanks for your reply. Yes I checked them all with the vehicle running and could not get power. My main power outlet located next to the ashtray works with no problems, but I cannot get the other three to work. Any ideas of areas I should check?
