Re: cigarette lighter fuse help
.
If replacing the fuse doesn't help, it may be the fusible link installed at the rear of the lighter assembly. .... For some odd reason mine failed and I thought it was a bad lighter assembly and decided to replace it. After I got the old one out I noticed the fusible link had blown. I have never seen this before and am not sure why it it would blow instead of the fuse. In the picture above you can see the shriveled portion of the fusible link where it melted. I did a continuity test between both ends and it read open. I replaced the fusible link with a piece of heavy-gauge straight wire. Absolutely no problems since. I normally would not do this, but I only use the lighter socket for very low current items, like my cell phone charger (1.5A), and my plug-in voltmeter. Would never use it for a high-current draw (heat) item like a cigarette lighter. .

If it's a 20 amp fuse, I'd say around 19 amps if you want to push the envelope. |

Re: cigarette lighter fuse help
Now that's a great idea.
Removing the fusible link, not such a great idea! Along the lines of removing the batteries from your smoke detector. I wonder if all car lighters have this safety feature built in? |
