Plug Sockets/USB Not Working
(13 Nov 2021, 8:39 pm)MurdnunoC I think some people on here think MG and GNE are gods. Dan should feel privileged that he is considered, at the very least, to be a demigod.Well some kind of god
All hail the Hypnotoad.

One upside of the sockets never working is when you come across things like this, you /probably/ won't get electrocuted!

As a side note, I've had my phone plugged into the seat back USB ports on a B5 for over an hour now and have successfully charged from 11% down to 7%...
Am I charging the bus, or are the chargers just that bad!
Wonder if it's got anything to do with the fact it's only putting out 4.2v, rather than the 4.7-5v I'd expect

Got on 5415 today, a 2015 Wright Streetlite and I thought why not, I'll try the charger and they actually worked, like I tested 4 of them and they all worked. So I wonder are the 2015/2016 Streetlites the ones that the drivers control and whether the chargers are turned on.

I vaguely remember from my time at Arriva that there was a switch to reset the 24V sockets. I don't remember GNE examples having this (although there is a interior battery reset button for the internal electrics and I'm now wondering if that resets the sockets).
Levantes have a button for 24V sockets so these ones are driver controlled and the only ones I can think of off top of my head.
(15 Mar 2023, 5:35 pm)deanmachine Driver's don't control them. They never have, it was a myth, if the interior lights are on, the plugs are on.

(15 Mar 2023, 7:01 pm)Dan It's said battery reset button which also resets the sockets. Needs to be done every time the engine is switched off.So if the USBs/Plug sockets dont work is it because the driver hasn't pressed the battery reset button or someone has blown the sockets on the bus.
I suspect some drivers go for the 'switch every button on' approach to turn on the interior lights in a Streetlite, which will turn the sockets on too.
