4 Visits, 115Volt outlet will not power Lenovo laptop, Agent says not compatible.

We had a power failure the other morning.
I used my truck's inverter to run my coffee grinder so I could make coffee. *too lazy to hand grind. And it worked great. The electronics in the grinder didn't freak out (it has a PID controller with feedback to automatically stop grinding when the beans are all ground) and I was able to get my morning dose of caffeine.

I really wanted to run a single-cup Keurig coffee maker on a mountain side!

Try a pour-over with beans you just ground, you'll boot that Keurig "floor sweepings" stuff to the curb.

Did you need to replace fuses after trying the Lenovo charger? I plugged my laptop in for the 1st time yesterday and tried both front and rear outlets and now neither outlet has power.

There's 2 fuses under the wheel. F35 and F60. F60 is a big one, it always f35. its only a 10 amp. try a larger one, esp if you have the pano roof.

I pulled both fuses and look fine. Replaced f35 just to see and still no power. Maybe the switch under passenger seat?

The inverter also have a built in overload protection. I'd say to pull the battery if it does not reset after being shut off after a hour or so.

Theres no switch. Only the power outlet switch by the lights for the separate inverter in rambox, if you have that.

No Rambox. I'll try pulling battery tomorrow. Went a year without using the outlets and may never again. But now it's a personal battle v truck. Ha.

I've not ever tripped mine. It seems picky about anything that has a ground. The ground floats.

God the manual is written by morons. There's a contradiction on every other page.

pg133 "There is also a second 115 Volt (400 Watts Maximum) power
inverter located on the rear of the center console. This
inverter can power cellular phones, electronics and other low
power devices requiring power up to 400 Watts."

pg 132
"NOTE: 400 Watts is the maximum for the inverter, not each outlet. If
three outlets are in use, 400 Watts is shared amongst the
devices plugged in."

"The Power Inverter only turns on if the ignition is in the
ACC or ON/RUN position.
• Due to built-in overload protection, the power inverter
shuts down if the power rating is exceeded."

Yeah so if fuses are good and "overload" protection isn't resetting...

If you can't at least run a shop vac or a blender for margaritas with the outlets, they're pretty much useless.
