Bro I had that same problem in one of my vehicles. I think it was in one of my pickup trucks with. With the cigar lighter in it. Ashtray, that folds down. Put all your pocket chain in there. Yup, I made that mistake and I'll never do that again. Never put pocket change in an asterisk or around. It ashtray with an electric cigarette
This makes absolutely no sense at all ! First you said the 30 amp fuse (#5) under the hood was blowing, and that you had to rewire that because it melted the Underhood Fuse Block, but then you said that fuse number 6 was the Power for the Lighter that was allegedly shorted with the 10 penny piece. If this was the case, the 20 Amp Fuse # 6 inside the Car definitely should have been the Fuse that was blowing first, as it allegedly got its power from the 30 Amp Fuse (#5) under the Hood. So, IF this really DID happen this way, the ONLY way would have been for BOTH the 20 Amp Fuse # 6 that was in the Fusebox inside the Car AND the 30 Amp Fuse # 5 that was in the Underhood block to be defective ! The 30 Amp Fuse would have had to have been slightly underated (like, closer to 25 Amps), and the 20 Amp Fuse inside the car was slightly overated (like, closer to 30 Amps) for the 30 Amp Fuse # 5 in the Underhood Fuse Block to blow first ! I'm calling this as I see it, but it seems mighty suspicious, possibly even made up, as why wouldnt you show the part where you allegedly removed the Dime ? Also, I didn't even see ANY arcing at all in the Cigarette Lighter socket, which is definitely a Red Flag. As many 30 Amp Fuses that this Car has Blown, there really should have been some obvious arc welding types of witness marks where the dime was making contact. This all makes me want to call this whole video as Bull Sheets to the wind ! 🤨
I assure you this is not a fluff film, I should have made clear the 30amp fuse in the small fuse block on the r/s of the engine was an issue I had 2 years ago and had been resolved. I only mentioned it because it's a stand-alone fuse block working the Teves ABS system that can cause issues. That's on me. The cigar lighter is on a 20amp (fuse #6 also shared by the brake lights) which gets it's power from the #5 fuse. Also, to be clear, fuse #5 is NOT the 30amp fuse in the engine bay, it's adjacent to fuse #6 in the fuse block under the steering wheel. Just because you don't see the arcing doesn't mean it's not loading the circuit. I expected to see some as well and didn't notice any either, however, applying the brakes was enough additional load to blow the fuse. I didn't video removing it because I wasn't thinking I needed to show how to remove a coin from a socket, seems simple enough. I'm not putting these vids out for money or just to have content, just to show some common mistakes people make (me for one) and for familiarization if you happen to have one of these things yourself.

Yeah I could have saved an hour of disassembly if I did the simple things first. At least I got all the mouse crap out of the trunk…
