First want to say how impressed I am with this forum site. I stumbled onto it about 2 hours ago. Lots of great info. Really impressed and thankful to guys like Andystoy19 and many others. You guys are awesome. thanks for donating your time and helping us out.
I have 2021 Defender XT HD10. Love it. Recently after adding doors, I bought one of those $20 cigarette lighter plug in heaters, (harbor freight, or O'Reillys). Says 300 watt on back. It only heats for about a minute, then blows fuse. I've located the 10 amp fuse and replaced it, (couple times). I assume it draws too much power and now have to determine a fix. I am not very impressed at the heat output anyway, so will be getting something different. Any recommendations? Also wondering if next heater should be wired direct to battery, and/or maybe even upgrading battery. (not ready for heater that ties into engine cooling system).
