    ok time to breakout the volt meter..
    you POSITIVE you got the right fuse?
    humor me replace the fuse or put the volt meter on the fuse in question (continuity tester)
    could be that the inverter pushed one of the two wires off the socket.. not sure how that could have happened
    I am out of ideas believe it or not

    The traditional fusible link is a short section of wire that has a smaller diameter than the rest of the circuit. When current flow in the circuit exceeds that of the fusible link, the wire melts and interrupts the circuit. This type of fusible link is becoming quickly obsolete, as many carmakers have opted for newer technologies such as the cartridge style fuse element or maxi fuse. When a fuse link ?blows?, it must be replaced.


    Purpose: Fusible links act as high-current fuses by protecting their circuits from excessive current draw. The capacity of fusible links is usually 30 amps or more-somewhat higher than that of standard fuses. When a fusible link blows, it means that its current-carrying capacity was exceeded and the heat across the link?s conductor caused the link to melt and open the circuit.



    I don't think you would have a fusible link on a Cig lighter.

    The last car I had with a true Fusible Link was a 1972 Ford F100 pickup.
