Travel assistant

Hi, has anyone had any problems when using the power sockets on the front of the travel assistant? I plugged in a phone and a pda charger into these and both fuses in the units blew!

Not on mine - each socket is rated up to 10A so a phone and a PDA should be a piece of cake. You're saying that the fuses in the chargers blew?

Never had problems with it, but check the connection between TA and base or between base and floor-socket; or fuse 17 in the boot

Yes, that's exactly what happened.

Thanks for the reply. How do you know the connections etc? Is there a wiring diagram available? Thanks

Only problem being that the base alone costs something stupid like £270 from a dealer!!!
