12v Outlet - Where is it?

Post by MrPerro187 »

I have a 2004 Pontiac Bonneville SE. I have looked everywhere in my car and I cannot find the 12v outlet for the life of me. Can someone point me in the right direction of it? All I see is the cigarette lighter port towards the bottom, but that's it. If that is where it is supposed to be, can I turn it into a 12v port? Thanks in advance.

They are one in the same. Take the cigarette lighter out and plug you phone charger in.

Okay, thanks a lot. I actually tried to plug in a 12v charger in there (mainly for my GPS), but it didn't work. I'll probably have to try again, but if it doesn't work, do I have to check a fuse somewhere?

Yeah the fuse might be blown. I don't know where the fuses are on that generation though.

Fuse for the 12V is in the under the hood fuse block.
