2000 olds intrigue cigarette lighter and 12v outlet fuse blows out when you use it i looked under the panels wires are fine?
Dizzle
Heating element may be shorted out--Repalcement available @ Wal-Mart or auto parts Check that the aux plug isn't shorting out. I had this problem when I purchased my Intrigue, and found that the Aux plug had been unscrewed, and the power wire was shorting to ground. Also, make sure that the fuse is the proper size. Depending on what your plugging into the electrical system, you may have too small a fuse to handle the current.
