12 v sockets

[Ddfh123]

I have a 2017 mil 580 , I tried using the tyre inflator supplied with the vehicle but blew 2 sockets , this has also affected the screen stand radio etc this only works now if I switch on with the cut off switch

is this a fuse issue and if so where ‘ how do I find it

Definitely a fuse.
The inflator may draw 15amps and the sockets are rated at 10amps
Location ..anyone's guess.

You need to use the ignition controlled socket in the dash board. It is rated at 15A. At least that the case with my Fiat based Hymer. I always run the engine as well whilst using the inflator. The sockets in the habitation area will only be rated at 10A.

The fuse box location and which item each fuse is covering should be shown in the handbook for the cab base vehicle.

If not using the cordless inflator I connect to the jump start terminals under the bonnet, effectively connecting direct to the starter battery.

mine blew the fuse using the inflator ,,, the fuse is in the under bonnet fuse box behind the passenger side headlamp

My tyre pump will blow fuses if I connect it to the valve and then turn it on, it’s ok if I start pump and then put it on the valve.
I’ve also fitted fly leads direct to leisure battery with Anderson connectors on, so I plug into that.
