Twice, flashers and belt motors disabled by a penny dropped in cigar lighter socket. Safety critical circuits were on same fuse. Penny may float in socket a long time before making a fuse blowing short. Sold car last year, but personally installed a smaller fuse on the lighter socket to prevent future loss of seatbelt retraction function.
