Posted this ealier this week but my post disappeared. What have you guy's plugged into the outlet? Anyone ever overloaded and tripped the reset? The wife wants to plug her electric blanket/throw in, just afraid it draws to much amps.

Have nothin plugged into mine. There are just so many cigarette lighter type outlets to need to lol! How much power does the blanket draw? Does it say it on the plug?

I'm not sure because she has it wrapped up for Xmas. I guess before she plugs it in I better check and see if it says before it blows LOL. I never had an inverter in a truck before!

Lol that's a good idea! I have never had one either its pretty convenient, my girlfriends '09 ram has one too I was waiting on one in a super duty!

cra.-p I posted all the info in the deleted thread ,, bu they had a known site issue and had to reset to an earlier set point so We got wiped out



but it was a 150 watt inverter and will trip a thermal so I guarantee it won't fire up a blanket but worst is it will shut down for a bit if you really want to try it

Hey, thanks fellas. I know this aint the most exciting post but when the wife mentioned that blanket I figued I better ask my buds on the forum LOL.
Have a merry Xmas everyone.....

Tried to plug in a set of elec metal snips one time and they wouldn't work. Irrc, it's only like 2 amps or something??

Since I'm a Ham radio nut, I'm always looking for power options in the truck. Just so happened that I had to run a power cord from the battery to the center console to power up a 2m/440m radio that I was installing in the console and I noticed the wires that power the outlet are very small. I doubt the plug can handle anything more that 20 to 30 watts, which is three times the power of a normal computer power supply, so don't plug in a coffee pot or a hair drier.

Well guess the wife will be crushed now. Oh well she can turn the heat up on her side LOL.

Check out your owners manual. I looked in there to see why the green light flashed sometimes and was solid other times. I remember seeing the specs on the outlet, but don't remember what they were haha. But it's in there.
