Can you direct wire a gps directly to the fuse box and not use the cigarette ligher?
Yes, i just did it. the easiest way is to get a female car socket adapter (the have them at radio shack or auto part stores) or get an extension cord for a car port and cut off the male end. then plug your charger into that.
next you buy something called add-a-circuit (also you can get it at auto part stores) you crimp the red wire from the female adapter to the add a circuit wire, you attach the black wire from the adapter to any bolt on the frame that's grounded (most should be.)
then you plug the add-a-circuit into an open port on the internal fuse box in your car. that or take a fuse out of one spot and add it to the add a circuit.
be sure that the spot you put the add a circuit in is one that only charges when the car is on. otherwise your GPS will run non stop and drain the battery. check your owners manual for the fuse box location and which fuses are for what.

Had a cell charger plugged into cigarette lighter in car sparks flew and lighter doesn't work?
Something shorted together the positive and negative terminals in the lighter socket, and blew a fuse. You need to find out what shorted the terminals - maybe the charger, maybe the charger plug, or maybe something metal fell into the light socket. Then you can replace the fuse and find out whether you really fixed the trouble.
What wire in a circuit should contain the fuse?
The wire that connects the power source to the rest of the circuit should contain the fuse. This is typically the wire that leads directly from the positive terminal of the battery or power source. Placing the fuse in this wire helps protect the circuit in case of a short circuit or overload.
Can you use a ac fuse for dc?
No, it is not recommended to use an AC fuse for DC applications. AC fuses are designed to handle the characteristics of an alternating current flow, whereas DC fuses are designed specifically to handle the unique challenges posed by direct current.
