FUSE REPLACEMENT
The power cord is fuse-protected against short-circuiting, by a 10-amp fuse
located in the tip of the 12 Volt DC power plug. If the DC socket is powered, but
the unit does not operate, then the cooler/warmer fuse may be open.
To inspect or replace the DC Power Cord Fuse
1. Unscrew the end-cap of the DC plug counter-clockwise.
2. Remove fuse, inspect it for an open element, and replace with a new 10-amp
fuse, if needed.
3. Re-attach the end-cap to the plug.
4. If new fuse opens, call Vector Customer Service department for further
instructions and possible return/replacement. This unit is not user-serviceable,
it must be returned to Vector Manufacturing for professional service or repair.
Any attempt to service by user will void warranty.
