Where are the fuses?

    About a month or so ago, my company assigned me a 2015 Pete. I like the machine except for one thing the previous driver did...he left me with very few functioning 12vdc outlets. I'm sure it's a fuse thing but the schematic on the fuse box cover is unintelligible and there is no indication of "12v" anything.

    So, wise readers, where are the fuses? I don't get to any of our shops often and really would love to make these outlets work so I don't have to drag extension cords all over the truck.

    If you can't figure out what fuse it is get a test light and check both sides of each fuse to find the bad one

    Funny could have sworn he said he couldn't figure our the diagrame for the fuse panel as nothing was marked 12 v

    If not behind the glove box look in the passenger side box there is a fuse panel there as well at least there was on my old Pete

    I found one fuse panel on the driver side near the clutch; I'm still looking for others.

    Maybe I wasn't clear enough on the "where are the fuses?" thing.

    Not only am I looking for the fuse panel, but more importantly, I am trying to figure out which fuses power the 12 vDC receptacles. that's the partner the diagram this is incomprehensible...none of the fuses have anything remotely related to "12 vDC" on them and the Peterbilt owner manual is of no help.

    Right now, I only have one of about a dozen or so that works. I cannot afford to lose it.
