Black & Decker 12v PD1200 or BDH1200FVAV dustbuster flexi vac

Hello readers,

I wanted to put this device on ifixit to make people aware of the 'Black and Decker 12v PD1200AV Dustbuster Flexi Auto Car Vac' and not to bin it if it stops working suddenly.

This item is sold elsewhere globally and here in the UK; https://www.argos.co.uk/product/4739487

Personally I am on the second one, it has stopped working for no reason, just like the first one did. I returned it for a new replacement. However second one is out of warranty. And it's an expensive item to just chuck in the bin.

For some reason the manufacturers have sealed the 12v push in plug, you can't check the fuse, if there is one in there?

There should be a removable cap type being able to pull out the glass fuse and change it yourself.

I opened up the housing unit and didn't notice any internal fuses in the anywhere. So am unsure of where the safety measures are on this device, if any at all.

However, read further to learn what to do to fix it. As I found out.
