You can't expect the splitter to handle as much current as a single socket unless made really well. The average stuff that comes out of China, would never hack it, but something home made/modified and over engineered with very thick wire or a bus of solid 10 gauge wire soldered between sockets will be fine. Even so, I'd rather run it directly from the battery (fused close to battery of course) using the thickest wire practical. At least 30 amp to redcuce voltage drops on the cable run.

Yes, well what I've done seems OK, but I was slightly annoyed that it's virtually impossible these days to buy anything off the shelf that isn't Chinese crap that will only handle 2 or 3 amps at the most.
Yeah, mine stopped working too. Was told it was a familiar fault with Focus. I need mine changing but can't do it myself sadly.
Fuse 47 I think inside on drivers side behind drop compartment for cds. Mine just stopped. Doing research also.

Open it, push sides to access the fuse box. Usually it's fuse 47 with 7.5 on it. Change it to 15. Had the exact same problem with my 04 focus.
This appears to be a motors forum user's reply to the track rods end question posted earlier today. It references the same 2005 article on their web site.
I think the site is just badly broken. Every reference seems to be related to Fiat Punto problems, even when the subject line makes it clear that it isn't.

What helped you? You are using motors forum which is telling the rest of us on other platforms that you are replying to an question about a fiat puto posted a decade ago.
