[QUOTE="earl60446, post: 314872, member: 4469"] Had a patience tester myself yesterday. Installed a GPS on my boat that I had laying around and every time I inserted the plug into the cigarette socket I blew a fuse. At first I thought the GPS was defective, then I thought the gps plug was bad or the gps plug fuse was blown. In any case, 4 fuses later I finally figured out that the cigarette outlet power tip was grounding against the housing (ground) when I pushed the plug in firmly. Tim [/QUOTE]
