Cellphone charging port is dead. 2007 Ranger

[rdsrds123]

Hi, my 2007 Ranger 4 cylinder recently got the problem of a dead cellphone charging port in the dash. I checked and found a fuse blown. Don't know why it blew. I think it is number 34 or 35, in the passenger kick panel. I checked for power to the fuse and it was there, so I replaced the fuse. Still, no power to the port where I hook up my cellphone. I checked with a volt meter the port. No power. Any ideas what I should check next? Thanks!

Check for voltage at the fuse. Should be 12ish volts. Check with the positive on the fuse and the negative grounding out to a good solid ground.

I don't see anything listed as a cell phone charge port in the wiring book.

Make sure you have power and ground, if those are good the socket is worn out, it happens.

Some power cords have their own micro fuse, especially cell phone cords.

Are you sure this isn't some aftermarket/3rd-party/DIY part? You're probably going to have to get in there and trace the wires.
