Blown electrics

Hey. I plugged a searchlight into my cigarette lighter and all the electrics have gone. Fuses seem intact

. Any ideas anyone? Thanks.

a) Check all connections, one may look ok from outside but does not connect
b) Take a regular Volt meter and check from battery and outwards

Thanks Christian - it was indeed a poor connection which must have meant inadequate current despite some charge in the battery.

Cheers,
Jim

Had a bad connection for my VHF, it was possible to listen but not to send. Those errors can be hard to find.
