So.... I got an add-a-circuit, put in a 10a in the bottom slot, 5a in the upper slot. Pulled the heated mirrors 10a fuse, all seems ok so far. I used the heated mirrors due to a lack of space under the fuse lid in virtually any other slot.
I ran the power to the power lead of the 12v accessory socket (noted it has on it, not for lighter use) to the power from the add-a-circuit and the ground from the socket to a bolt that is grounding a circular connect for about 5 other ground wires.
I did use crush-type connectors but they are nice and tight.
I started the car, plugged in the car-charger accessory for an A118C and the red light did not come on, took a cellphone charger that lights up when power is applied, nothing.
Didn't have the A118C plugged on the charger when the fuse went.
So here I am, a 1 amp glass fuse in the car-charger accessory blown and a non-operative usb car charger now. I pulled the add-a-circuit until I can figure out what the heck just happened. Neither fuse in the add-a-circuit blew.
FYI it is a 2014 Infiniti Q50S.
Thoughts?
