Hi all,

Was inflating my tyres with a cig lighter powered air compressor, suddenly stopped working and think I've blown the fuse for the socket.

Anyone know type of fuse and which one in the fuse box I need to buy? Found a few vids for F30, is it the same for F36?

Thanks!

20A yellow. Check all 3. If it's translucent yellow you'll see it. If it's solid yellow you may not so easily so replace it.

Mini blade I think.

Go on flee bay and check if it fits by year/model.

Definitely says 20A, and they're 20A in the X3, I just hardwired my dashcam into the cig lighter slot in the fuse box today.

Yes . You are right.

Just looked in the car and I have a packet of 9 yellow 20A blade fuses.
It was almost the same cost to buy 10 as it was to buy 1 when I managed to blow that fuse.

Are you sure you didn't break your compressor instead?
Happened to me recently.
