The lead I have for my Garmin Sat Nav has just blown it's second fuse, I'm sure it is down to the car I was using it in as it has been fine in my own car but

Does anyone know which fuse I need to get to to replce the broken one, it is for a Garmin i3 Sat Nav

Thanks

    its just a normal automotive glass fuse.
    take the fuse to a local car part supplier,it will have a rating on the side of it.

    The first time it blew, I took it to a well known high street car accessory shop, what I am thinking now is they maybe didn't give me the correct fuse, so I don't want to buy another incorrect fuse and I no longer have the original.

    Does anyone know what is the correct fuse for a Garmin i3?

    You'll need to make sure you get the correct length aswell ;)
    I think the most common sizes are 25mm and 31mm
