    hey yall..
    so I've had my 12" prius for almost 7 weeks now, and today my 12v outlet in the armrest stopped working. I'm wondering if any of yall had similar issues, and I'm curious what yall had to do to get it fixed. could it be just a fuse issue? if so, yall know where and how I can go about that? I guess I can just walk over to the car and pull out the manual... but then I wouldn't get to socialize...

    anyways, thanks.

    I have a similar problem and it's not the fuse. My outlet under the radio isn't working, but everything else does, including the USB. I checked the two 15A fuses for cigarette lighter and outlet, both are good. Everything else in the vehicle works properly.

    I had a similar problem on my 2006 Sequoia and it was a breaker system. I had to pull a particular fuse, leave it out for 10 sec, then the breaker reset and I could replace the fuse and it worked properly. In that case the fuse for the outlet was also good.

    Do you know if the Pruis uses a similar system?
