5th & 6th Generation (2002-2006 & 2007-2011)Toyota Camry Discussion for years: 2002-2006 & 2007-2011
Topics of discussion range from fuel economy, safety, modifications, performance all involving America's favorite family car, the Toyota Camry.
I have an 06 camry i4. My power outlet fuse keeps on blowing when I run my mini air compressor. It works fine with a cell phone charger, no blown fuses. Is there a way to modify the power outlet to be able to run the compressor. Thanks!

Install a fuse with the size listed in your owner's manual. If the fuse blows, it's doing so for a reason. Buy a new compressor with less current draw.
You can also get one of these portable jump-start that has a cigarette adapter so you can plug your mini-compressor into it.
Rare to find one with all these functions built in. But it's worth it.
It's ironic that I never get these problems when I have my jump-start with me. Only need it when I don't have it with me. Like one time I was driving with the wife in her car and saw someone needed help jump start in the parking lot. The one time out of many that I don't drive my car which has my jump starter. We did help them out though. Our little Corolla have more power than some guy with his 4 wheel drive pickup truck that weren't able to help.

You can find one of these at any autopart stores like Kragen, Autozone, Pepboys...I have one of these for camping use. It works great!

Usually they cost an arm and 2 legs. What's the most useful feature on yours? Useful to you I mean.
On mine, I used the lights when we lost power at the house and used the compressor a few times.
Most useful is I use these to charge my laptop when I'm working and sitting outside of the coffee shop (I work from home so I go to Starbucks sometimes)
Also, use these to power my ipod speakers during campings and charge ipods. It also use to power up my air pump for the air mattress for camping.
I jumped-started a few cars that ran out of battery also.
I bought it for around $45 in Kragen. I think Walmart has better price now.

iPod don't have the speaker of it's own?
Bet U get a lot of workout carrying this heavy jump starter around.

I use this speaker for camping...when I go camping with my choir, we usually have about 80 to 100 people.
A lot of workout carrying the portable battery? You should see my muscle...
