My USB charging port does not seem to be active yet I can't find what fuse controls that. The induction port (phone charger) works fine as well as the cigarette lighter outlet but when I connect something to the USB-A port I don't see any charging registering on the device (Samsung Galaxy S4). I've looked through various fuse layout diagrams but it doesn't seem to mention a USB specific fuse. Any help appreciated, TIA

It’s unlikely there is a single fuse for the USB. If everything else is working, it’s not going to be a fuse. Try a different cable?

 
Something finally triggered in my old memory banks about that usb port. It’s likely not powerful enough to charge that Samsung. Here is an older thread on how wimpy that port is. Its only useful function is as input to the sound system.

 
Yep, that's it, it doesn't have the ooompf required. Alas I'm already using the cigarette lighter port for the radar/laser detector but that's how I just found that out. I have a spare cigarette lighter->USB converter and connecting the Samsung it showed charge.

Thank you!
