Wasn't sure to put this in OEM or Modified but here goes:
So I decided to decorate the '98 XJ for Christmas. Got the lights and garland and wreath on. Plugged the lights into my new 100W power inverter I got. It, in turn, has a cigarette lighter plug. I plug it into my cigarette lighter instead of my power outlet, so the lights go out when I shut off my ignition. The lights come on, I drive around for a lil' while. When I get home, the lights are off. I check the mini-fuse (10A) on the inverter, and it's not blown. I check the cigarette lighter fuse behind my kick panel, and it's blown. Now the cig lighter fuse is a 25A. The inverter fuse is a 10A. This is just me thinking, but I figured the 10A would've blown before the 25A, right? Would it be possible for me to get one of those female-side cigarette lighter plugs and wire it straight to the battery? I hate to have done all this decorating for nothing... LOL
