Ender:
Adapter as in the multislot adapter?

Many of those adapter are really cheapo, and the wiring are badly route, causing shorting to ground. Shorting to ground will blow your fuse, even your cigarret slot 10amp fuse.

I have opened some before to re-route the wire. I notice the + and - are very close on those I have. Abit of twist and turn may cause them to short.   If you have a multimeter, your can measure if it's shorted.

yes, the adapter of my multi-slot. the fuse blow when i turn it clockwise when still inserted inside the cigarette slot. so i was wondering, is it because of the turning that trigger the blow??

but it seem hard to dismantle our latio cigarette slot to change the fuse...

The fuse of your  cigarette socket is not at the socket.. It's either in the box under the steering, or under the bonnet. Check your owners manual, it's stated there. It's not difficult to change.

As for your multi-slot, checked with a multimeter if it's shorted.

kennytoh:
oic, thanks

i will check the manual once i got home.

And I wouldn't resuse your multislot adapter, till it's opened up and fixed the wire routing.
