Radio Fuse

Post by Piggie »

Everytime I plug anything (charger, cigarette lighter) into the cigarette lighter place, I blow the radio fuse. Does anyone know why that happens?

There are two connections on the back of the cigarette lighter. One for 12 volts, and one for ground. They must be touching each other or else the ground is touching somewhere else or something in order to cause a short circuit when the lighter is used. Just be glad there is a fuse there or you would have a fire! :-)
