Remote Bottle Opener ? Okay i have recently installed my remote bottle opener and everything works good but i keep blowing a fuse if the button is pressed half a second to long. My car is really loud so it is hard to hear if the bottle opener stops turning so i blow it a lot. (unless i have the car off and open the bottle) It blows the gauge 10amp Fuse.
What could be causing this i cant imagine this always happens because it is way to sensitive.
It is plugged into the red circled spot. The ground used is the same as the rest of my nitrous system and i dont have a problem
Red Circle = IGN = Switched 12V Power (has power when key is in the on position, but does not have power otherwise)

Why not put another fuse in the box so it has its own fuse? When you go too far when you open or close it your overloading the circuit and the motor is drawing more current than when its inbetween. Put the bottle opener on its own fuse and try to not go too far opening and closing it...

Yes you are correct the smaller fuse is before the bigger one so it will blow it first. You can try a 20 but no bigger than that factory the ten amp was for the gauges but since your adding more stuff it could be "ok" for now to add a bigger fuse. But seriously you should make it its own dedicated circuit...

Find a spot in the fusebox thats empty and run ALL of your nitrous stuff to that spot go to a local shop and tell them you want to add a fuse to your fuse box they might have the pins to add mors stuff to your box but if you have to put it under your radio or the curtisy fuse. get a good fuse tap that removes the current fuse and sets down into the fuse location and has the fuse ontop of wheren it normally would set. I will see if i can find a pic of one kinda hard to discribe

Wouldnt it make more sense to run a relay on the opener too Kinda like if you do the pass upgrade for express window up & down Seems like an opener would pull more than a solenoid But Im a rookie So feedback would help a lot of people just my 2 cents

Nitrous Outlet bottle opener, 10amp fuse, no problems. iirc there is a clutch that is adjustable for how tight you want the valve to be. If the clutch adjustment is too tight, it will stall the motor and blow the fuse.
