I have a GPS set up in my car - Basically I use a power outlet in the
dash similar to a cigarette lighter with a splitter to feed 2 12V
items items. My setup includes an HP Ipaq that has a 5 amp fuse -
never blows a fuse into 1 side of the splitter. The other side for
about 5 months I plugged in my GPS Bluetooth receiver - It recently
keeps blowing the 1.5 amp fuse. I even bought a new charger. I can the
take the charger whcih similar to a cell phone charger and put it into
another vehicle & it will not blow the fuse. My GPS receiver requires
the 1.5 AMP fuse. I would imagine there is something in the circuitry
of my vehicle causing it to blow 1.5 Amp 250V fast acting fuse - is
there anything I can put on the circuit to ro stop this ????


reminds me of a myth on mythbusters about someone replacing a blown fuse
with a bullet ....
