1st gen.

Its the same fuse for the dome light,radio and 12v accessory port. It has a 20 amp on in it.
I have a gps on the 12v port,cd player and 2 12" subs. It wont blow when everything is on. It'll randomly blow. It did start when he hooked up a 75 watt power converter. I looked on the back of it and it showed 10 amps. ive replaced the fuse twice in 2 days. I pulled the cd player out,checked the 12v lines etc and grounds. nothing is shorting out that i can see. Brother has been driving it when it happened both times. He said the last time he may have seen a spark in the 12v port. Not sure where to go from here...



This is frustrating. I hate wiring issues.

 

yes its suppose to be a 20

check the cig lighter possibly its corroded inside or dirty

 

That's a common fail Chris. Had it happen on several cars.. sure they were Fords but guess what! All lighter sockets are pretty much the same.

 

Im going to disconnect the cig port and see if it does it again. If it doesnt il replace it. Im not sure how the cig port can cause it to blow...someone chime in on it...Im a idiot when it comes to electrical stuff in a auto.

 

they tend to go chris it happened to many of us
