Isn't there a small sub-fuse panel behind the removable cover on the driver's side of the dash that is accessible when drivers door is open?

One of the members here, PGamboa, posted a youtube video about swapping out the center console. In the video, he shows and explains in pretty good detail the wiring configuration of the outlets... Maybe this would help you poke around the wires and figure something out.

Good luck!

If fuse is good check for continuity from fuse to hot side of outlet. If that is good check the chassis ground to the outlet. That is the problem with electrical problems, no puddle to back to the source and everything is small

Your best bet would be to locate the wiring diagram for your truck. There is a site that has wiring diagrams as well as service manuals, but I cannot remember the name of the site. Hopefully someone reading this thread will be able to recall the site name.

Have you looked in the owners manual to see if they have the fuse panel listed with a table giving what circuits are connected to what fuses? Generally fuses protect more than just a single circuit, for example one fuse may protect the horn and brake lights.

Since all three outlets are dead, the issue will be before the wiring splits off to the three outlets.

Are you testing fuses with a test light, or by sight? Mini fuses have the legs of the fuses exposed on the plastic end of the fuse when installed. A test light probe can touch either leg to verify power. Test both sides of all fuses with key on.
