Disconnect clamps immediately. Ensure red clamp connects to positive (+) terminal and black clamp connects to negative (-) terminal.DIY Safe
N/A
Automatic fuse trips during 12 V appliance operation (Overload)
Possible Cause: Connected 12 V appliance exceeds maximum current draw of 10 A
Switch off 12 V appliance, unplug from cigarette lighter socket, wait approximately 2 minutes for the overload fuse to automatically reset, then reconnect keeping load under 10 A.DIY Safe
N/A
