Hello fellow (mini)van dwellers,
I've taken the seats out of the minivan, cleaned it out, topped up the fluids, added a bed, kitchen, toolbox and both both the Chilton and Haynes repair manuals (shop manuals are on my wish list). I'm hoping to drive off into the sunset tonight yet there is one thing I haven't been able to address: neither the front cigarette lighter nor the back cigarette lighter work and thus I don't have the ever so desirable 12v power port for life on the road.
The usb ports above the cigarette lighter do work, and I've tried both cigs with two different devices (a 12v cooler and the jumper cable/battery pack thing) just to make sure it was the cig port and not the device. I have found two of the fuse boxes (one in the back right/passenger side of the van and one at the driver's left knee behind the coin cup).
My challenge is that I cannot yet find a fuse diagram for the vehicle to check if it is a fuse or something else. I have found fuse diagrams for the 2011 Toyota Sienna, yet I believe they are not the same as the 1999.
I'm imagining I might drive off into the sunset tonight even if I can't get this worked out today; it's not critical, yet would provide more comfort if the cigarette lighters offered up power.
Any help or insight anyone can offer would be welcome.
Thanks,
AD
