Two weeks ago, I was sitting in parking lot with car running. I noticed everything plugged into my center console power outlet was off. I thought maybe a fuse blown. So, I checked fuses in under dash fuse box, under hood fuse box, secondary under hood fuse box. All fuses look good. I then used test light to check all fuses on both sides of fuse. Both sides lit up on all fuses. I do not think it is the relay because the power outlet and the USB should be running on same relay. The USB gets power and charges phone. Plus, that is rare according to Google. I bought a new power outlet from Toyota, it does not work either, so sent it back. I then took off center console partial housing, looked at wires plugging into power outlet, they look to be fine and normal. What else should I check or what do you think it could be? Toyota wants $200 just to diagnose it. I only make $200 per month and after taxes $183, so I cannot afford that. Thanks Patrick
I think I've located the component you're having trouble with.
Use the link Chuck posted and go to 'Power Distribution'.
Scroll down to 'Fig 3: Power Distribution Circuit, Hatchback (3 of 4)'
You'll see "POWER OUTLET SOCKET ASSEMBLY 1" at the very bottom there.
Start measuring voltages and work your way backwards towards the power source.
Electrical problems can be tough to diagnose. Don't assume the relay you mentioned is good, it may be using different contacts internally for USB and the power outlet. (The latter potentially may deliver more current than a USB port.)
You're going to have to trace the circuit back from the power outlet to find the fault, using a multimeter or test light. You can find wiring diagrams for your car at the link below which may help:
the power outlet and the USB should be running on same relay.
According to Toyota schematics, they are not on the same relay.
I don't think the power outlet is even on a relay.
Both sides lit up on all fuses
electrical circuits need positive and negative (ground) to work properly. Test lights are very useful but they can't do everything. Even a cheap $10 multimeter can take your troubleshooting much further.

I wouldn't put much faith in that.
