Is the proper name a USB port? The (old) cigarette lighter type "charger" on the console of a 2012 Accord Coupe, four cylinder. It no longer works and wont charge the wifes cell phone. What's the fuse number that controls that and where's it located? Located right where the shifter is right in front of it. Thanks.. Any other ideas why it would just stop working other than a fuse? Yeah I know maybe I'm asking a loaded question. Suppose the first check and most common is hopefully just the fuse.

 

Probably called auxiliary power socket. Your best bet to find out which fuse is in your owner's manual. I don't have a shop manual for the 2012 accord.

Obviously replace the fuse if blown. If the fuse keeps blowing, then you will have some more troubleshooting. Make sure something like a penny didn't fall into the power socket.

 

The console accessory power socket is separate from the USB port.

The fuses that protect the console accessory power socket are passenger side under-dash fuse no. 12 (15A) and driver side under-dash fuse no. 18 (7.5A). However, if driver's side fuse no. 18 was blown, the front accessory power socket would also not get power.

Just for info. purposes: The USB port is not directly protected by a fuse, it is part of the audio system circuit and runs through the audio unit and a separate USB adapter unit. There are separate fuses related to the audio unit.

 

Thanks RedBull and PA Honda. It's not the outlet pictured that one is working it's the round one in front of the shifter but I'll see if I can find a blown fuse. Nothing fell in it that I know of anyway.

 

Actually now that I dig a little deeper online it looks like it's called the "front accessory power socket" and is fuse number 23 on the drivers side fuse box. I fooled around with that fuse box a few weeks ago and couldn't get the damn cover off of it guess I need to try again and figure out how it pops off this time.

 

It was fuse number 23 drivers side fuse box...One small victory for me.
