[T6] 12v Sockets permanent live

yep, and it would seem they are not protected by a low voltage cut off device, from what others say.

Yes, on a normal single battery equipped van the dash sockets are live with ignition off so you can flatten your battery if you leave anything connected too long.
As far as I am aware if you have a factory fitted second battery (or revised wiring with an after market second battery) the sockets will be fed from that. The fuse is under the left front seat.
On the conversions that I have done I leave my dash sockets supplied from the engine battery and supply the additional sockets in the camper part from the leisure batteries.

Certainly not on a T5.

Pretty old thread this one but looking for some help if possible:
The 12v socket on top of the dash has stopped working (plugged in a damaged 12v inverter (didn't know it was damaged at the time!)) and I can't figure out which fuse has blown. I've checked all of the ones I can get access to (underneath the dash and in the engine compartment) and all are healthy. One of the posts above mentions a fuse under the left front seat but I don't think I have any fuses in that location - I could be wrong but it has a swivel double base on the passenger side with no access so i'm asuming that when the campervan conversion was done, they wouldn't knowingly block access to a fusebox.
The 12v supply on the lower dash is still working fine.
Any pointers or advice would be appreciated.

Have you checked sc40 its the large block fuse 3rd up from the bottom on the right.

I’m curious. Mine don’t light up? They are both working.
Normally a green light or something.
Should they?

No, they have no lights to show they are working.

Hi Loz
I'm also curious about this. I have a 16 plate LWB 4Motion and the the 12v socket on the top of the dash has stopped working too. Some people say it's the big square blue fuse and some say it's the third one up however my blue one is in the second hole up and the third hole up only has one terminal as you can see in this photo. For some reason the
photo has uploaded upside down though.
Someone else @BoroBoy has been saying they can't get their hands in the pull the blue one out and I had the same problem and in trying I pulled off the clear plastic cover. In the end I managed to get it out with one hand through the hole and the fingers of the other hand coming up under the trim.
