Ram1989custom Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 My 12v Cigarette plug-in wont work, even though I get 12.02 volts on the wires AND the actual piece, it doesn't make sense. If I have voltage leading to it, shouldn't it work? I just got a new GPS and am about to go on a road trip in a few hours, but I cant use it, any clue whats going on? I am about to go into town today and buy a new plug-in, and if it doesn't work, rewire it.

Whenever I plug in my splitter, it works, but when I plug something into the splitter, it stops working. When I plug something into the plug in (not splitter, like my phone charger or the cig lighter), it wont work.

Also check for fuses within the plug make sure that the device you are plugging in isnt shorted out or has a blown fuse. my secondary lighter in my car has it where it only works with the ignition turned to on. acc, or any other mode but on will not make the secondary lighter port get power. hope this works Quote 2004 GMC Envoy1 XS power S3400 batt under the hood and 4 XS Power D3100's battery installed in the rear by the amps0 gauge power wire from front to backAlpine iva-w205 touchscreen dvd/cd/mp3/ipod/am/fm/gps headunitSundown Audio SAX-200.4 amp for my mids and highs8 gauge speaker wire from amp to woofer270 amp Mechman AltRockford Fosgate T1652-s component speakersRockford Fosgate 3Sixty.2 sound processorRca's from Rockford Fosgate and Monster Cable14 gauge speaker wire for the mids and highs1 18" Ascendant Audio SMD Dual 1 ohm with custom Black & Blue carbon fiber and hand signed dustcapBox: 5.66 cubic feet net volume box tuned to 30.13Hz with 1.5" wide wooden dowels and 1.5" thick baffle1 DC Audio 5.0k amp wired to .5 ohms nominal with an imp rise of 1.35 ohms for the single AA SMD 18"Future Vision 8000k 50w bi-xenon projector HID's with 4300k 35w fog lightsLink to my build: Buildupdates/progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
