OK, noob question. I took delivery of a 2024 Silverado 2500 LTZ about 5 weeks ago. It has two 120 volt AC outlets, 1 in the bed and one inside the console. Both are dead. The user manual talks about an "DC/AC switch" that must be thrown to turn these outlets on:
From the owners manual
But I see no such switch in my truck:
Now, I realize that the owner's manual depiction of the dash looks different than mine, but that is the only reference to the outlets in the manual, and it is the 2024 manual.
I might think that all trucks get the outlets but you have to buy the option to turn them on ... typical corporate sales tactic ... but the window sticker clearly says "120V INTERIOR AND CARGO BED POWER OUTLETS".
Well ... I pulled the fuse(60 amps!) and relay for the "DC/AC Inverter" and they are both good.
But after I put the fuse and relay back in, the outlets work! No switch, just plug in and there's power.
Go figure ... an improperly seated fuse?? Sheesh! What are the odds on that? On a NEW vehicle - it had 13 miles when I took delivery.
Thanks for the feedback everyone!
@Blaise thank you! This fixed mine. I had pulled and tested the fuse and it was fine but didn’t fix it. I pulled the relay and reseated it and voila! Very strange.

Need a retrofit probably. Microchip shortage.
It's gone ... !!
