thanks ruffnutt, I guess I believe you since I just spent a few hours trying to get it out w/o taking the console off. I blew it when there was a 5 amp 50 watt cooler plugged into an inverter and I decided my laptop needed to to be plugged in and turned on while it was charging. I figured it should have been able to handle it, especially since the fuse did not blow and it was only a 10 amp which I have now replaced with a 15 amp.
