Hi petran58,

I would take the car to an Auto Electrician, and explain to them what is happening.  That sort of electrical stuff is way beyond my level of expertise.  If it does blow the fuse all of the time, it should be easy to track down, it is the faults that aren't always there that are hard to find.  Others on here may be able to provide better guidance.

By the way, your English is very good, a lot better than some of the English on this site!!   :lol:

The fuse is designed to protect the wiring of the car from burning. The fuse breaks when there is far too much current being drawn through the wires so it breaks before the wires get hot. Either the GPS plug is faulty or the connector for the socket outlet may have a short circuit which will burn out the fuse until it is fixed. Take that car to an auto electrician as previously advised or your dealer if still in warranty. This could be a sign on a serious fault, so don't delay.

Your English is much better than my Hellenic. ;)
As Phil said, be glad that the fuse is blowing. If not, it would be something melting and causing a fire. :Shocked:
Something is not right and needs to be investigated properly. You are too far from Adelaide for me to help any more. :lol:

You have a dead short there some where,as the others have said,back to the dealer if under warranty or off to a auto elec, could get serious if not sorted.
