12v socket not working

[Bootneckshuffl]

Evening all

Tried to use both 12v sockets inside my MY23 today, just for a portable tyre inflator. When I plugged into the front socket in centre console, the inflator worked for 5-10 seconds then cut out completely. I switch to the rear socket in the back and same thing again. The machine is fine cos I checked it in my neighbours car.

Anyone had any issues with these sockets?

These sockets don't provide much power to heavy machinery. The circuit breakers tripped. You can plug it in again after a while.

Above.

When I was looking at tyre inflators, many drew a current higher than the rated continuous of the 12v socket.

Also, is the 12v socket on later cars actually 12v. You might get ~ 14v on an ICE if running the engine, but worth checking voltage delivered and inflator range.

tyre inflator is not a HEAVY Machinery. wtf DD I just ran one from Halfords on Sunday. it took some time, probably 5 minutes + to inflate neighbourgs car from flat.. I run it for bikes or ball inflations all the time.

OP, book a service.

Aye it’s only a little Halfords one. I ran it before with the previous Model 3 I had no bother, when the bairn wanted her tyres on the bike pumped up.

The power socket is suitable for accessories requiring up to 12A continuous draw (16A peak).

Note
For vehicles manufactured after approximately November 2021, power inverters plugged into the low voltage power socket must support 16V DC input to function.
