Re: Power inverter,12V power socket, What is going on?
Sure you can remove the in-line fuse-- but now all the wire from the battery to the inverter socket IS NOT protected, so if you run the cable through the firewall, or the door- or the wire gets chaffed- then you are in for some smoke. Removing the in-line fuse will not stop the one in the head of the inverter from blowing.
Here's a thought, since you want to invert to 110V a/c- then attach inverter directly to the battery and run an extension cord into the car cabin- At least you won't have the overheat or the long DC wire concern.
I put an inverter 1500W underhood on a Yukon this way- and run an extension cord under the frame rail back to the back seat. My B-I-L runs his oxygen machine off of it while he drives. Works great.
