Check the Fuses in the Rear Fuse Box? It is in the small cargo area in the trunk.

No I beleive it is located in the side panel of the cargo area. Like in the rear hatch there should be a removable panel on the side and the fuse box is located inside there. Not under the cargo floor.

Yep, Open the tailgate and open the small door of the compartment in the floor liner.. Once open look at the left end and you should see a plastic cover that can be removed, In there is your REAR Fuse Box.

Well then I appologize, I must have been mixing up with my generation of MDX or possibly with another car altogether.

Sorry that doesn't exist in mine. What I found was someone must have changed the gate in the past and replaced it with the wrong one. Pig tails don't match so now I am off to the salvage yard to get a different plug. Thanks for the help guys.
