Cigar lighter
 
Hi guys n gals.
I had a slow puncture in my 06 hawkeye so I used my plug in pump and when it got to 32psi it stoped so I unpluged it and found the plug was hot. now the socket will not work. I've checked the fuse and its ok.
Any ideas.

Are you sure its not the fuse? I plugged mine in to my mates car to blow his tyre up and it blew the fuse.....

Checked the fuse and it looks good. I'll get the meter out tomorrow. Thanks

There's a piece of fuse wire soldered to the back of the cigarette lighter aswell as the fuse.
I over loaded mine once and that "popped" before the fuse did. I soldered a piece of wire there instead.
