Hey guys. I don't know if this is a common problem or not, but my speedo/reverse lights/cigarette lighter fuse keeps blowing every time I turn my fog lights on. The fog lights are wired into the cigarette lighter along with the heated seats and CB radio, but the fuse only started blowing over the last few days when I fixed the wiring on my fogs (one of them wasn't wired up properly).
Could it be that the fogs have a stronger amp rating than the speedo and reverse lights and cigarette lighter? The speedo fuse is 20amp btw.
Thanks in advance!

Re: Speedo/Reverse Light Fuse Blowing
You wired it wrong when you fixed it, why aren't they wired to the sidelights?
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway

Re: Speedo/Reverse Light Fuse Blowing
That is alot wired to a fag lighter mate but like johnny sed its wired wrong and tbh what's been put thru the cigarette lighter is putting a strain on the the fuse anyway
If it ain't green and black send it back
