I had ment to ask this question a long time ago but kept forgetting. Anyways ->
I noticed in the owners manual (2000) a warning that the cigarette lighter outlet in the center console is only to be used for just that. If it isn't being used for lighting up **** :26: then you should keep the dummy plug in it; is what they suggest.
Why in the world would this be. I've ignored that warning and have had my cell phone charger, GPS power, and a baby bottle warmer plugged into it with no problems. Not all at once mind you. I figure most things won't pull much of a draw on the wires, if so the fuse would blow out before any damage would occur to thewires or plug, correct?? :blahblah: However, it shares a fuse (15A I believe) with the electric mirrors. I figured if anything bad was going to happen it would have when I plugged in the baby bottle warmer, as that unit has heating elements that I'm sure pull a pretty strong current.
Anybody had problems using the cig. lighter outlet, besides with the cig lighter, which I'm sure none of us are dumb enough to use those for their intended purposes.
