Portable Air Pump
I'm interrested in getting a portable air pump, the one that plugs into the accessory plug in the center console.
The amperage for the plug says its 10A and lot of the pumps that I looked at are all rated at 15A. Would this cause problems? Do I need to find one that's rated at 10A to be safe? thanks. |

If the fuse doesn't burn out, you could overheat the wires. I doubt it would be an issue, but if you can 10A pump it would be best.

No worries overheating the wires as you'll blow the fuse if you try to go over 10A if that's what the jack is rated.
Just get a smaller blow up doll....
