Electrical Question

Does anyone know if there's generally a fuse behind a 120v power port in a vehicle?

I took my wife's car to work this morning. There's a 3 way splitter that we plug into it that powers a GPS, satellite radio, and a cell phone charger. One of the ports vibrated when the satellite radio plug was pushed into it a little bit and now the 120v port doesn't work.

I hope it's just a fuse...otherwise it's going to be expensive.

Re: Electrical Question

Well if your using a inverter, yes it has a fuse. It's most likely a glass fuse that's inside the inverter

Re: Electrical Question

I asked the question too early in the morning, before having my 1st Mt. Dew, and, more importantly, before thinking it through. Of course there's a fuse...a plain old run of the mill 15 amp fuse which I picked up at Wal-Mart on the way home.

Major brain fart this morning!
