I have a 12v power point installed on the rear, that works off the "work light" pig tail, by the back wheel. (non-switched) Has worked for over a year, no problem.

Now..the pig tail doesn't have any power. Naturally I thought of a loose connection or a blown fuse. Found the correct fuse for the work light in the owners manual (finally, something useful there!). Pulled the fuse, it was not blown, but replaced the fuse anyway, still no power. Connection seems fine. All other surrounding elec stuff works fine, tail lights, signals, reg lights.

I even pulled all the other fuses that were 10 amps or less, just in case, and they are all fine. The flexible conduit that holds the wire harness is in tact without any scrapes, or damage.

So I'm at a loss. Any suggestions?

Thought about that too, so I disconnected the port and put my multi-meter on the pig tail ends themselves. Nothing.
