Re: blown fuse

I had that exact same problem. Do you have your cig. lighter plugged in? The Element could be toast, also look into it, look for metal things stuck inside the 12v socket. (Coins, gum wrapper, etc.) Hope that helps

Re: blown fuse

No Problem, It took me a while to figure out why my camaro was doing that.
Good luck.
