I bought a small compressor to run off the cigarette lighter in the used but "new-to-me" 2010 Transit Connect I recently bought. The compresor is a "Slime" and said it was for truck and suv tires, well it ran for about 30 seconds and then as I tried to add air to the tire it sputtered out. I thought at first the little 150psi compressor died trying to inflate the truck tire, but now I have found the cigarette lighter no longer functions with any device. I changed fuse 143 (one for the lighter) even though it looked ok and still no accessory power. I decided to change a few other 15 amp fuses in an attempt to locate the "rear accessory fuse". I also changed all the 20 amp fuses (since one of them had a line down one side of the filament). I changed some of the 15 amp fuses in the underhood box as well , but still no aux power. I only changed the mini-fuses. Radio works, truck runs, not noticing anything else not working accept TPMS indicator is on. The only reason I even tried the little compressor was to reset the TPMS. I went to the gas station I tried for about 2 hours to reset the TPMS but it wouldn't let me past the passenger front wheel. I aired them all back to door reccomemdation. I have a Hayne's guide but it is for the UK models, and it has wiring/fuse information, but it appears the fuse numbers and fuse box layouts are different from US model.
