Well, I'm having a new problem now (I hardwired about 1.5 mos ago when I got the car). I just noticed my cig lighter ports are dead. Culprit...blown fuse. Now, to tap for the detector I used the 5 amp fuse second to the left, bottom row of the first block of fuses in the upper left. Like an above poster said, I too tried the homelink, and it was on all the time, so I moved on to a random one until I found a 5 amp that worked. However, I may have caused a mess. Now that fuse in the tap (not the detector fuse, the "original" 5 amp fuse) is blown, so I replaced that, and still no cig lighter power. I happened to look at the one to the right of that one (the 20 amp third from the left, bottom row of the first block) and poof, that one's blown to bits too. I replaced that one and that's the ticket to getting the cig lighter power outlets working again.
I just don't get it. A) why this is causing things to blow, and B) why it also blew the 20 amp next to it!
