    lol. i suggest picking a 2010. or just consulting the manual, they should have what kind of fuse you need.

    Thanks, I looked there too. Ill stop by the dealer. I actually don't think I would have blew the fuse if I had the engine running. That's what I do on my Pilot with no issues.

    Frank,
    What is the listed AMP draw of your compressor?

    42/40 for me with the bridgestones too. Check your pressures often especially as the weather changes. I would even recommend going to nitrogen to eliminate large pressure changes for those who do not have a reliable source of compressed air at home.

    Well.... I personally never said you were wrong, I just inadvertently proved your point. However, I'm going to buy a few extra fuses and try to use the compressor with the engine running. I think with the engine off it's easier to blow the fuse.

    Interesting tidbit in my inflator owners manual, it says do not leave engine running while inflating tires

    I think it won't matter if you have the engine running because 14.5 amps will blow a 10 amp fuse Frank

    Repeatedly running 14.5A on a 15A fuse is a recipe for short fuse life.

    well, something did go wrong:eek: I was inflating the drivers side rear tire and the inflator stopped!!!!!:eek: The duck tape fell off the light sensor for the parking lights that are on the same circuit as my 120 volts outlet!!!!:eek: Turns out, the duck tape had been in the outside elements too long and lost it's stickeyness :LOL: found some fresh duck tape and inflator worked with out a hitch:D
