I had a similar problem but never figured it out.

I bought 1 for my ZT and 1 for my wife’s qashqai at the same time. Mine suffered the issue of constantly blowing fuses after around 8 months. I tried a mix of my camera and wife’s power lead, her camera and my lead, my car, her car etc. Any combination blew the fuse in my car but same combo worked fine in her car.

They were cheap again so I bought a 3rd and it worked fine out of the box, but never got round to fitting it properly and it remains in the box still.

It has worked perfectly for 18mths,but for some reason blew a fuse about 3wks ago. Plugged in different camera with new fuse to socket O.K.,then plugged in problem camera,blew 2 fuses.
Never changed lead,still with original.
When i get replacement off g/son,i will post it off to anyone who wants it.

Fixed. Problem was the cable,to be more precise,plug on cable.Something has come loose inside of plug,rattling. "Borrowed" cable off g/sons' set,everything O.K. How something can come loose inside the plug should be a mystery,but i have it in a Nissan x Trail "Tractor".

Took the old plug apart last night,to find that the thin plastic wall between the 2 outer springs(neg) and the centre spring (pos) was shattered.
