FAO people that are good at wiring

[Steve]

Makes no sense to me but in the 2.0 i've taken the block connector that originally went to the cars clock (as the clock didnt work) and used it for the cigarette lighter, which works fine.

However my in car charger or portable dvd player don't work on it and they both work fine in my saloon!

Any ideas?

Fuse?

Well the cigarette lighter works fine on it as I found out when I got burnt but theres no power from it when I plug in my phone charger. Thats whats confusing about it.

Check the thing your plugging in to the ciggie lighter i.e. that the + & - parts hit the + & - parts of the socket.

[Steve]

Yep, done that, and... nothing

[Dar]

Check the thing again to make sure its still live. Then check the things your plugging in again to make sure they are still working. I think you will find that one or the other is now not working.

Been out to have another look and the cig lighter works fine but neither the charger or my dvd player power up. And when I connect the block up to the clock that doesnt work either.

Bollocks to wiring I can't be ar$ed with it.

[Steve]

Any other ideas on this? Its got me baffled!

[Steve]

Anyone?

[Graeme]

Its definately not a polarity issue like Dar said?
