Cigarette lighter
So I'm having a issue with my cigerette lighter. I don't smoke but when I use the lighter it works fine but when I use my car charger it blows the lighter and radio fuse. Only with a charger and I have tried 4 chargers. So what would make it work with the lighter and not charger? I have also tried 2 new cigarette lighters and same thing.

That's pretty weird. A cigarette lighter usually draws pretty heavy current. What size is the fuse in it? What kind of charger? Do you know the wattage rating on the charger?

Yes, that's probably it, but it's odd the a cigarette lighter does not.
Unless he's trying to run something like a 4500 watt charger, that's probably it.
