Default GPS car adaptor

Hey,
Last year, my GPS fell into the water. I would turn it on but then it would turn off. Sometimes with would stay on for a few hours, sometimes I couldn't get it to stay on. When it was working, I had it plug into our car. I used it on an RV and it never blew fuses. When I used it on our cars when I got home, it blew the fuse. I thought it was because of the water. Now, the GPS is fixed but the adaptor is still blowing out fuses. It blew them out on my brand new truck and my parents trailblazer. Is there anyway to fix these or should I jus toss it and go back to best buy and buy a new one????

Hi,
It don't look to me like it is fixed.I don't think your going to get a quick fix on this one.It looks like it will have to go back to the factory.

Dan send it back to Garmin, even if it is out of warranty they will normally take care of you pretty well.
