amp rating on cigar lighter circuit

[ciffer]

i am thinking about running one of those small electric heaters to defrost my windows when cold. i have seen heaters that pull 15 and 20 amps and have cigar lighter plugs. can i run on of these, or do i need to wire into a different circuit?

The stock circuit is a 20 amp fuse, so it should be able to run the heater you are describing without issue. I know that I run a heat/massage cushion, my GPS, and my Sirius satellite radio off the stock circuit, and still have my cell charger there as well. Never have had an issue with the stock circuit keeping up, I just can't wait until I can do the wiring and upgrade the wire size.
