Wanted to see if anyone else is having this problem.
I've connected the electric airpump twice and it burned the fuse twice.
Scenario:
1. Connect pump to the 12V port
2. Power "on"
3. Works fine
4. Power "off"
5. Connect the other end to the tire
6. Power "on"
7. Last 1-2 second then it stops
This happend two times in a row so was wondering if anyone is having this issue? Or maybe someone know what I am doing wrong?
I will need to get the fuse replaced again but this is a bit annoying even thought they are cheap and easy to replace. I can't really use that pump if this is the case.

Have the same propblen with my 2007 BS, I blew a fuse everytime I use the air compressor. I switch to the cig lighter outlet now without blowing the fuse.

Hmm...I guess I should give that a try next time.
I've tried the passenger side one and the cetner console on.
Haven't tried the cig lighter place.
I am just curious why this should be a problem.
Anyone else having the same issue? Maybe it is written somewhere that I must use the cig lighter outlet?
Anyway, thanks for the replies.

It's in the manual, and in our very own Cayman Club FAQ:

Your just drawing too much current.
Check the fuse panel fuse chart, if I recall the cig socket has a larger fuse current rating than the other one. Too slack to check myself.
Also in the manual that if you connect the compressor to the 12V u WILL fry your fuse!!

That's what I get for not reading the manumal...haha
The dealership didn't even tell me this last time.
The 12V outlet seems to be using a 7.5 amp fuse
Also, is the cig lighter outlet using a separate fuse? I don't think it is because it won't work with it now but if it is, why would that one work and not blow out the fuse?

My fuse literature is in everything but English Had to get service dept. to email diagram on which is power port fuses. Very odd and the owners manual was no help either.
