Just installed a late model cigarette lighter to my 914. The one that has the big spring and nut to hold the lighter receptacle in place. It blows the 15 amp fuse every time once you turn the key. It blows if the lighter is out of the receptacle. I have used the red wire to test the electric windshield washer and haven't had a problem. If I remove the ground wire off the cigarette lighter the fuse still blows. If I remove the red power wire from the receptacle the fuse doesn't blow. Am I missing a part? Does the red wire go to one side or the other on the receptacle? There doesn't look like anything is stuck in the receptacle.
Thanks, Buck |
