Hi Eric.

Caveats: I'm looking at the 1985 wiring diagram and imagining possible
scenarios. I'm not an electrical expert.

The cigarette lighter outlet, brake lights, interior lights, are on an
8 Amp fuse.

The internet shows charge port devices with two 2.1 Amp USB outlets.
Some also have a cigarette lighter outlet. With just a two 2.1 Amp
outlet device installed, if the brake lights and interior lights are
on, USB devices pulling full Amps, would that total current draw blow
that 8 Amp fuse?

Some of these USB port charge devices have a voltage display. That can
be quite useful.

Neil.
