I don't have any pictures to post yet, but if someone can help me work through this problem I'm having with my two-day old Escape then pictures will definitely follow!
I'm curious about the 12V power sources in my new Escape. I plugged in a 12V splitter and tried to run two devices but the fuse blew as soon as I turned the second one on. It's a 20 amp fuse and the combination of the two devices draws 2 amps at most. This happened with both 12V power sources (front and rear, both 20 amp fuses).
In my old Chrysler Sebring (http://forums.radioreference.com/pictures-your-shack-mobile-setup/226060-my-mobile-home-shacks.html) I could run nine devices (seven 12V and two USB) from a single 12V cigarette lighter adapter, also with a 20 amp fuse.
What's the deal with the Escape's 12V power sources and what can I do to get around this problem?
