Both 12V outlets don't work - separate issues
Hi, regarding our 94 RB:

I have searched this site, the LD owners manual and the Econoline repair manual extensively, with no success so far:

#1 TV outlet just died, but it is still getting power at the outlet as the antenna boost lite turns on. We use a 140w inverter to charge computers and phones from it.  Also just use a phone charger, that is not getting power wither. All known fuses are fine and everything else 12v works in the rig.   I'm guessing that a circuit has blown on the antenna boost board (as it's all one unit) and I need a new one (if still available on such an old rig?).  Other ideas?

#2 The cigarette lighter in dash has never worked in the few years we have had the rig.  Fuses under the dash are fine.  Checked a few inline fuses under the hood and they are fine also.   Any Ideas?   The windshield fluid pump has never run either - perhaps they are on the same fuse some where?

Thanks in advance for any insight you might provide!

The cigarette lighter on our 2009 was not working when we bought our LD from the original owners.   After checking as you did, I found the wire connection behind the dash and the socket were not connected.  Hope this helps.

I have a later version (2000) and it has two "cigarette lighter" outlets on the dash.  One worked, one didn't.  Found that the fuse was also protecting the OBD-II power, because it didn't work either.  Don't recall which specific fuse it was, but it was either under hood or by pedals -- not hidden elsewhere.  It was in the Haynes manual you can get at auto parts stores, as well as Ford owner's manual.
