110v Outlet Keeps blowing fuses

[Seth Huffaker]

Hi All, new to the forums, I just bought a 2016 GMC Sierra 2500 HD Denali and I’m having a hard time with the 110v power outlet. Ever since I bought the truck it hasn’t worked. I removed the passenger side panel and checked fuse #35 and noticed it was blown. With the truck off and nothing plugged into the outlet I removed the fuse and the second the new 25amp made contact the fuse blew instantly, I tried it again with another 25 amp fuse and same problem. Took to the dealer and they’re wanting to charge me $600 to diagnose the problem as they have to “rip apart my whole dash” to isolate the issue. I looked inside the outlet and nothing is inside that would short it out. Before buying a plug or an inverter I wanted to ask here if there’s anything else I should try?  TIA

I've got the same truck and same problem. Fuse immediately blows when I turn truck on and plug in phone charger adapter, without even plugging phone in.

Sounds like a dead short, the inverter itself may be bad. The factory inverter is only 150 watts, so it's not capable of a whole lot anyways. But can run equipment requiring less than a 1.25 amps which suits most people.
