12v DC accessory plug in trunk

[SubSailor]

Every time I plug air pump into my 12v trunk outlet, it blows the 20A Micro2 fuse. I used this pump numerous times with my Tesla with no problem, so I do not think it is the pump itself. It is a bitch to remove the panel and access the fuse panel under the glovebox, so I have been using the battery clips and connecting directly to the 12v battery. Anyone have similar problem?

I’ve used the Lucid branded pump many times with no issue, as well as a Kobalt compressor with no issue.

You should have service check out the wiring, or try a different pump.

I will have it checked out by Lucid but it works great with Tesla and other cars 12V outlets. Not a big deal but the outlet is mounted in the module right over the 12v battery and when I push in the plug, that module does sink down so the underside of the 12v outlet may be hitting the battery. How is Cupertino? I lived in Scotts Valley last in the Bay area, retired engineer from Lockheed.

Cupertino is... quiet.

And yeah, anything's possible. But i've definitely run larger loads on that plug without issue.

That movement is normal. It shouldn't be touching the battery. You can lift up that whole insert/plug assembly pretty easily to get a look at the battery and fuse board below it. It's not fastened down in any way, just lift.
FWIW, in the Air that plug is only rated for 15A (180W). I doubt your compressor is exceeding that, but worth noting.
