I have a very strange electrical problem with a 1995 Toyota Camry. I bought one of those heavy duty air compressors that can plug into the 12V cigarette lighter receptacle. I plugged it into the cigarette ligher receptacle of my Camry and about 3/4 of the way through filling the tire the compressor stopped. At first I thought it was the compressor but later troubleshot it to be the cigarette lighter. I immediately checked the radio/cigarette lighter fuse and that was fine! The radio works no problem! I am guessing it is a wire perhaps????
Now here's an interesting twist. I also noticed that my sunroof is not working as well. So perhaps (with the factory installed sunroof) the fuse is in another location for those models? Any other suggestions on fuses or circuit breakers? I was thinking of replacing the cigarette lighter receptacle but with the sun roof not working now I am not so sure....
BTW, if it does come down to replacing the cigarette lighter receptacle are there better alternatives since I am using it primarily as a 12V power source? Any suggestions regarding this would also be very much appreciated!!!!
