The factory compressor blew my fuse!

[DoverG]

Hi all,

Just quickly, the MG compressor that came with my car was pumping up my tyre for about 2 minutes when it stopped working. On inspection it blew my 12v fuse.

In contact with MG awaiting a reply, kind of ridiculous, must be a faulty compressor or if someone else can enlighten me why this happened. Covered under warranty ? - Fuse (few dollars I expect) and a compressor that won't blow the fuse?

Cheers

My son has had that happen in his LEAF. I think it depends on how long you use the compressor. I run mine of my booster pack now which is way more convenient.

Did the same in my FL5. Fuse box is a PITA to get to but car was going in for a service 2 weeks later so got it done then. Use a foot pump now!

I have my own compressor with its own battery, yet to use the included one.

I might clip the lead and add aligator clamps with an inline fuse, just in case
