    I didn’t think too much of it when I found out that only one of the two outlets in the sleeper works in my 2016 579. Now that I’m test driving one of our 2019s tomorrow (I’m spending tonight in it now), I’ve found out that neither outlet works in this truck! Is this a common problem with these trucks, and is there a quick fix for it?

    The sleeper fuse box was next to the drivers side box door under the bunk in the 2014 579 I had.

    Yeah, they’re good. I’m guessing a wiring issue?

    I found two more outlets up on a top shelf, they both work. The two next to the climate controls are the problem ones. All I can figure is maybe some kind of wiring problem..?

    I don't recall it working in the last FL I drove either. I got it new. A 16 model. So it's not just pete.

    Check the circuit breaker on the distribution box.
    Also check the connectors for the outlets.
