Apologies if this is long winded but I've tried to be thorough and if it helps me and others then all the better. Please also bear in mind I have warranty on the vehicle but I'll cover that more at the end.
Problem
Yesterday when attempting to charge my phone in the Kitchen mounted dual usb socket (2022 T6.1 Ocean) I noticed it wasn't charging from either of the two available flush mounted sockets.
Investigation steps
Step 1 - The owners manual states that Fuse F9 is 20 amp rated that is dual purpose and supplies the 12 volt socket in the pop top and the USB charger (See image 1 below)
Step 2 - Upon checking Fuse F9 (See image 2 below ) The fuse was intact and had not failed at all.
Step 3 - As its indicted in the manual that its a shared fuse, I checked power to the 12volt socket in the pop top roof and there was power to it and It was functioning when plugging items into it.
Step 3.1 This ruled out any fuse issues and meant that it was either a wiring issue to the USB charger OR failure of the USB charger module itself.
Remediation steps
Step 1 Check I have 12 volts to the wiring connector at the back of the USB socket.
Step 2 If I have 12 volts to the back of the USB socket then all I need to do is replace the faulty dual USB module. (My suspicion is its just a failed module)
Next steps and advice needed
Problem - Removal of the plastic facia plate (See Image 3 below) is not possible to gain access to the usb fixing screw from the front as there is a screw from the inside of the kitchen cabinet in the area circled in red that is stopping the facia plate from being entirely removed. This prevents me from carrying out the simple steps of identifying wither a failed USB module or wiring issue.
It is not possible (and believe me I've tried) to remove the fixing screw in situ and its not accessible (See image 4) for close up and (Image 5) for an expanded view.
Question 1 - Has anybody on the forum had this problem previously and been able to fix it themselves ?
Question 2- Has anybody on the forum successfully been able to either remove the T6.1 kitchen unit or sink and hob to provide adequate access ?
I imagine people are thinking that I should take it back to the dealer and make it their problem under warranty. For me, that is the last resort as I don't want any scratches, marks, badly fitting kitchen components after removing/replacing. For that reason I'd rather do it myself if any of you have previous experience and can help.
