Thought I’d post this in case it’s needed. I tried several of the usb replacements and they didn’t work because they were fully circular and my cover has flat sides. I finally found the exact same item to replace. this worked for my 2016 320 https://a.co/d/dhpnfpX - JR Products. Took 5 minutes to replace. Please note that…
I had that problem too. The problem was with the USB ports module itself. It died, and needed to be replaced. There was no issue with fuses, breakers, or circuitry, just the module with the USB ports.
Back when the factory was allowing customizations, we had them remove the USBs and replace with 12 v sockets. You can also cut the wires to the USB if you wish to eliminate phantom draw.
Or better yet, this one could use the same mounting hardware & just wire it in to replace the USB side.. 12V Cigarette Lighter Socket Car Marine Motorcycle ATV RV Lighter Socket Power Outlet Socket Receptacle Waterproof Plug 2Pack By MXRS https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QN2ML4X Update: This is what I ended up using to replace…
Ok, that makes a lot of sense to use a cigarette to USB adapter, but we have other items plugged into those. So, for these outlets that have a cig socket with 2 USB slots, is there a replacement that provides two cig sockets?
I have found every “built in” USB connection unreliable. For whatever reason they all fail sooner rather than later. I replace all of them with standard 12V connections and use plug in 12V to USB adapters which are cheap and easy to throw away and replace. Definitely not a Ucamp thing. Just one persons’s experience.
Just a followup on my replacement USB sockets, cigarette lighter USB adapter, and the wire tap solderless splice connectors.. All are still working fine now, four years later, even though our newer model phones are more power hungry than the old ones.
I'm really not a fan of wall-mounted USB ports, for these and other reasons. If you are planning to replace the ports anyway, consider installing a 12V cigarette lighter socket instead. Generally more amps and more versatile. Use a USB adapter when you want to charge devices. Use the socket when you want to run other…
My Tacoma’s USB went out after 4 1/2 years. I haven’t even checked on the replacement cost. I just use a 2 slot plug-in USB adapter for the 12V plug in. It works fine—if not, I buy another one.
We can't seem to get anything working in either of the two USB ports in rear driver side corner that we were using yesterday. Tried cell phones & a USB light, but the lamp in that corner works. Haven't checked fuses yet, as I think other stuff on the same fused circuit works. Front USB ports above sink work. No recent…
