Fix & Go Air Compressor Blowing Fuse (1 Viewer)

[juleshe]

Hello again.

Regrettably we have no spare wheel and one can't be fitted so I decided the best I could do would be to invest in a TyrePal system to at least have advance warning of any tyre issues.

Anyway I needed to inflate the tyres a little so got out the Fix&Go compressor thingy as it can be used to inflate the tyres without the Goo option. The only problem is every time I use it it blows the 15amp cigar lighter fuse (four so far!).

I've made sure I've used it exactly as instructed.

Has anyone else had this problem. Just wondered if I have a faulty unit?

Cheers,

Jules.

Mine works fine. It sounds like possibly a fault unit or a fault socket. Have you got a 12v socket in the hab area you can try it from?

On the boxer there are 2 cig sockets, on rated at 10amp I think and the other a lot higher cant remember exactly, could that be the problem ?

Yes tried two 12v in the haditation area (we have four in total) and it blew the fuses on those also. Instructions say to use the cigar lighter with the engine running which I did.

Looks very much like a faulty unit then.

Yes that was my thoughts.

All the habitation area sockets seem to have 10amp fuses, highest are the two in the cab and these are 15amp. I think I need to take it up with the supplying dealer.

Thanks for your help.
