MEP-701 MEP-016b no power from convenience outlet, terminals and fuses are OK

Hi,
on my MEP-701 I don't get power from the convenience power outlet (120 VAC receptacle). The fuses are all OK and I get voltage on the load terminals!

Any ideas what I should check next?

Thanks in advance!

In my limited experience it seems the front panel outlets often get rewired in creative ways that have nothing to do with the wiring diagrams, so I would suggest going through the connections one by one back to the terminal block and checking for power there.

Fuses either right next to the convenience outlet or inside the box, no?
Seems like two fuse holders but only one wired with a fuse, IIRC.

How did you check the fuses? Ceramic fuses will sometimes pass continuity check, but not pass any real current, it is best to check them with an ohm meter, as the continuity setting on many multimeters may be 50 ohms or more,
