I've never checked, but I'm sure there is a fuse under the dash. I don't think I would use one of those pumps. They draw a lot of amps. I burned two of those pumps up using them on my pickup.

down and but not out
Flat Fix in a can. Some brands are rough on the rims. Tires shops hate the stuff but when your on the side of the road and in a hurry, they're great. When you get home you can remove the tire and take it to a tire store to have the goop washed out before they repair the tire.

Did you have the ignition switch on? If not no juice. I plug my gps into it, works fine until you turn the switch off.

The cigar lighter fuse is in the #5 fuse box. The first position is a diode for box #5. The next to last position is a 10 amp fuse with red wires. This is for the cigar lighter (excuse me - 12V accessory port). I plug my GPS into it all the time and recharge my cell phone when needed.
See page 52 in your owner's manual.

Hey cobras,
You got my wiring diagram?
It's all on there...
Email me if your having problems following it...
The small compressor would work better in an emergency if you used the larger clips connected right to the battery. That's a lot of juice being pulled thru the accessory plug circuit. Remember to have the car running too, or you'll have a dead battery and a flat tire...
Also, newer cars have a accessory plug that is always "LIVE"
Pre #1040 cars had an accessory plug powered thru ignition switch.
It's easy to change either way....

Suggest you try the pump on a tire that is almost flat. I got a pump as a present and it would increase the tire pressure by about 1 psi per hour! Many of those small pumps are worthless.

Many of the "road side assistance" devices draw more than 10 Amps.
If you can, you may want to see about bumping the current rating of your APO ( Auxillary Power Outlet ) to 20 Amps if you can.
Another option ( easier to do on some cars ) is to install an APO in the trunk on a 90 degree bracket. Makes working on the car by the side of the road a lot nicer and the APO in the trunk allows for lights to be used in the trunk without 20 feet of wire.
Just my $0.02 worth.
