OK, so after some serious tailgating with the Trac at the ACC Championship this weekend (BOO), I managed to blow the fuses for both my cigarette lighter and AUX power (on the passenger side of the high console) with my power inverter. It stinks because I had to drive home from the game without my radar detector, but I made it without any tickets :blink:
First thing this morning I went to Auto Zone for more fuses. Both sockets uses a (20) fuse, and I quickly replaced them both. When I plugged in my phone charger (standard Verizon OEM charger), the new fuse immediately blew. I replaced it with a (30) and I put a (25) fuse in the AUX power slot. If I am running a phone charger and radar dectector respectively, will there be any problem using the higher grade fuses?
This is a temporary fix because Santa is bringing me XM radio (Roady XT), and I am going to re-work the AUX power with an in-line fuse or relay or something to change it to accessory power. I don't know the best spot to tap into accessory power, but that might require another thread.
