Hello everyone.
New member since today. Thought this would be the best place to get an honest answer.
Earlier this week I plugged an inverter into my cigar lighter to charge my laptop.
All went well for an hour or so, but I wanted to check how far I had to go on the recharge, so I switched my laptop on.
I unfortunately left my laptop plugged in to the inverter and blew a fuse.
Simple I thought, replace fuse and continue, remembering NOT to switch it on again whilst still plugged in.
Hmm. After replacing a 25amp fuse, nothing on my centre console is working! (That was the only fuse I found had blown.)
No clock, heater/AC controls, radio or cigar lighter. What have I done? Is there another/bigger fuse I haven't found yet?
I asked a workshop if it was a relay, they said unlikely and have suggested a 'couple of hours' in the workshop and they'll sort it!
Couple of hours could be expensive!!
Your thoughts, ideas and, hopefully, solutions would be much appreciated.
Thanks and regards.
