Power Outlet: Operation

The power outlet base or receptacle shell is connected to ground, and an insulated contact in the bottom of the shell is connected to battery current. The power outlet on the instrument panel marked with a battery receives battery voltage from a fuse in the Integrated Power Module (IPM) at all times. The other power outlet on the instrument panel marked with a key receives battery voltage only when the key is in the on position.

The power outlet located in the center console receives battery voltage all the time when positioned between the front seats  and key-on voltage when positioned between the rear seats  . The power outlet located on the C-pillar receives battery voltage only when the key is in the ON position.
