Blown accesory sockets
Used my D3 on a construction site to day and I was given a beacon to put on top !
After about 5 mins they stopped working so I unplugged it from the rear of centre consul and plugged it into the front left one in the centre consul !
5 mins later caput !
I unplugged it and the inside of the socket was red hot !
Has it shagged my wiring ?
The sockets don't work and I checked the fuse and all seems OK
!
In anticipation

not much help to you but you can install a 12v power supply in the boot on the LHS. thats what i done, and i specifically use it for a beacon. my beacon is a pulse one rather than rotating. never any issues!! strange though! mine works with ignition on only.
i have same problem with sockets in my d3 too when i plug my 12v comp in to inflate my tyres or kids inflatables it blowns a fuse after 2 mins runing and my son uses it on is vauxhall with no problems was thinking of cutting ends off and fitting 2 crock clips with a inline fuse sick of changing the fuse all the time also i have blown the front 1 several times with my phone charger if prob continues will replcace aux sockets see if that worksalways up to somert usualy no good acording to swmbo
