Missing 12v power port by rear seat

So I recently bought a 2021 Ford Transit 350 XLT for my growing family and noticed that the rear seat is missing a 12 V power port. I pulled open the panel thinking the previous owners yanked it out and there were cords dangling down there and instead found a connection attached to the inside wall. Is this my connection and I just need to buy the missing adapter and plug? My kids need a port to plug in their Nintendo Switch since the USB ports don’t supply enough juice for the Switch.

Coming back to this again, I still haven’t found a wire connector or anything in the rear pillar of my transit. Yet I’m curious if I can pull power from anything in the rear or if it would be better to just run power from the front fuse box.

Rather than missing the power port I think you are missing the blank plug that covered that hole. :rolleyes: Seriously. My 2020 came from the factory just like that and it was YEARS later that I found the blank plug behind the panel and that it either was pushed through the hole after it went down the line or fell behind the panel as it was being installed on the line.

On Cargo vans there is a 12V outlet/receptacle installed on the same side of the van in the last-most pillar. I never looked to see if there was an unpopulated connector when I had my interior panels off in the Passenger XLT, but I suspect that would be a better place to be looking for a 12V source that is powered on with ignition.
Where would I find one of those blank caps online?
