Accessory Power Outlet and Trailer Lighting Fuse Replacement Customer Enthusiasm Information
Accessory Power Outlets (APO) and Trailer lighting are the most commonly accessed electrical systems that can be affected by devices that are plugged in by the customer.
If a vehicle is encountered with one of these systems being inoperative due to an open fuse, and a problem cannot be identified with the vehicle, it is reasonable to suspect that something the customer may have plugged into the APO or the trailer connector may have caused the fuse to open.
