cigarette lighter blown

[joepro17]

So i was using one of those air compressors that connects to your input adapters and i guess it was too much of a load because it killed the adapter. Just stopped working right in the middle of inflating my tire. Any suggestions to diagnose/fix this?

I would start by checking fuse #13 located in the fuse box under your hood. Also check fuse #46 located under the rear seat.

Thanks. I pulled the fuses. 13 is toast. Looks like i found the culprit.

For the benefit of other searchers in the future, that fuse also (undocumented) feeds the OBDII diagnostic (code) port. If you ever see a failure of scan tools (or an emissions test cable) to connect to the vehicle, that fuse is almost always it. GM manual writers FAIL.

I knew this only because of having wiring diagrams. My roommate's mom's Envoy CEL was on, and when my tool wouldn't power I knew immediately to borrow the 10A out of my truck and swap it in, and got the codes pulled. The more you know!

That's what I was saying in another post.

It's one of those trivia tests I ask people at meets, to separate the true enthusiasts from the lurkers who don't remember squat.

1) What is the ONLY part number for I6 plugs?
2) How many bottles of what fluid do you have to buy at the dealer for your transfer case?
3) What's the most common single point of failure for low beams and how can you quickly confirm it and limp home using a spare that's ALWAYS in the vehicle?
4) What fuse takes away the diagnostic port when it fails?
5) If you give a jump not using the battery terminals, and later on your interior lights and HVAC systems is dead, what did you blow?

Just internalize these - no need to turn this thread into a trivia contest.
