Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1Original post

Wanted to see if anyone else is having this problem. I've connected the electric airpump twice and it burned the fuse twice. Scenario: 1. Connect pump to the 12V port 2. Power "on" 3. Works fine 4. Power "off" 5. Connect the other end to the tire 6. Power "on" 7. Last 1-2 second then it stops This happend two times in a row so was wondering if anyone is having this issue? Or maybe someone know what I am doing wrong? I will need to get the fuse replaced again but this is a bit annoying even thought they are cheap and easy to replace. I can't really use that pump if this is the case.

Are you sure that you are using the correct outlet?

POST 3Original post

Have the same propblen with my 2007 BS, I blew a fuse everytime I use the air compressor. I switch to the cig lighter outlet now without blowing the fuse.

POST 4Original post

Hmm...I guess I should give that a try next time. I've tried the passenger side one and the cetner console on. Haven't tried the cig lighter place. I am just curious why this should be a problem. Anyone else having the same issue? Maybe it is written somewhere that I must use the cig lighter outlet? Anyway, thanks for the replies.

POST 6Original post

Your just drawing too much current. Check the fuse panel fuse chart, if I recall the cig socket has a larger fuse current rating than the other one. Too slack to check myself.

Page 149 of the MY08 Owner's Manual - The lighter receptal is not to be used for electrical accessories (except for the tire filling compressor). Page 231 of the MY08 Owner's Manual - Step13 - Connect the compressor to the cigarette lighter... Hope this helps.

POST 8Original post

Also in the manual that if you connect the compressor to the 12V u WILL fry your fuse!! ________________________ "Sir! We're surrounded!" - "Excellent! We can shoot in any direction!" A good car will get you from point A to point B. A great car... will just get you into trouble!

POST 9Original post

That's what I get for not reading the manumal...haha The dealership didn't even tell me this last time. The 12V outlet seems to be using a 7.5 amp fuse Also, is the cig lighter outlet using a separate fuse? I don't think it is because it won't work with it now but if it is, why would that one work and not blow out the fuse?

POST 10Original post

My fuse literature is in everything but English Had to get service dept. to email diagram on which is power port fuses. Very odd and the owners manual was no help either.

POST 11Original post

Well I really cant tell why, but its probably because of increased load on the 12V, perhaps it has less resistance! In any way, I didnt think Porsche was messing with us when they said not to do that, so I didnt ________________________ "Sir! We're surrounded!" - "Excellent! We can shoot in any direction!"
