47-55.1 Cigarette lighter - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I added a cigarette lighter to my 50 3100 and am thinking it should be fused. Not sure it was that way to begin with but I have gone up to 30 amp fuse and the lighter blows it as soon as it is pushed in in.

I won’t likely use it for it’s original purpose but would like it to work. I would also plan on using a USB charger. Should I remove the fuse (12V coming straight from ignition switch or would I risk burning up the charger.

Anyone know if it was fused originally?
