Fridge/coolbox help

Post by multivanman »

Hi all

My Multivan came with a 12v/220v Fridge/coolbox It seems to work if i plug in into the mains but the 12v ciggarette lighter type socket was busted & the only one i have found to replace it had a 5 amp fuse in!

I have just wired this up & tried it in my van but It blew the fuse!

Can I put a higher amp fuse in it? ( if so what rating?)

Or is there a promblem with the fridge? or do I need to get a differant lighter socket/lead?

Oh by the way it is a German, 'Real Electrico' one!

Has any one heard of these/ got one?

Cheers for any help/info

Kevin :)

you can only up rate the fuse if the wiring is good enough to handle the power....
