I feel like such a idiot I thought I would share this with you guys. I have been trying to figure out why I kept glowing a fuse for the power seats and cig lighter. I have been trouble shooting this for the last two weeks. Well after removing the seat to chase some wires my wife walks out to the garage to see what I have been up to for last couple days. So she sits in the passenger seats and starts being peeking around and asking me questions. After I tell her to knock it off and go in the house she says "should this penny be in the cig. lighter". WHAT???!! well come to find out the penny was the causing my fuse to pop instantly every time. I just don't know what to say from here........
