lighter fuse ? made dumb mistake

misanthrope · 07-25-2006, 01:11 AM

I made the mistake of trying to plug in an inverter into the lighter port on m prius. Both Lighter ports are dead. I assume this is a fuse. Anyone know where it is? I've looked in the owners manual but it is not helpful.
I'd rather not call my dealer....

As delivered from the factory, these ports are live only when the car is on ("Ready").

Have you checked the specs for your inverter and the car owner's manual to confirm that the inverter will not try to draw too much current?
