I had the 10A handy right next to the washer that got into the lighter socket and burnt the fuse...

Let me rephrase the question.
I think anything drawing more than 5A from my cig. ligther should blow a fuse.
The real question is if the same fuse is providing power to something else other than the cig. lighter socket. (i.e. is there anything else on the same circuit requiring more current than 10A)

depends what you use the lighter for...
If you use the actual cigarette lighter you'll probably blow the fuse again. If your using a cell phone charger, it should be fine. You will just be limiting the amount of current you can pull from that recepticle. WORST thing that can happen is you blow the fuse again.
Funny combo of german and english.

I remember the self thought techinican replacing a circuit breaker with a higher amperage breaker...
at our apartment back home, just because it was tripping every 5 mins... It was so much fun smelling and then seeing the tranformer melt. Luckily there was no fire... Later in my studies I got to do it with resistors... They get real hot. I have burnt my fingers too many times. They smell yummy though.
