maybe the outlet itself got blown out... other then that id say ur Screwed just dont stick metal into it..

Okay... you might want to kick me, but it's the first question you have to ask... Is it plugged in?

are u serious? Im talkin about the outlet where u can stick a cigarette lighter.

Right..... I know MY power outlet has a place to plug into in the back behind the dash panel. Go remove your panel and you'll see it. Thanks, I'm not a noob.

ohh s**t i thought u were talking about a house outlet.. yea u should try what Nofx said... other then that try a fuse if not then maybe its no good

Also have you checked to make sure you're not getting any power to it at all?

tried everything. cig lighter,phone charger,radar detector,vacuum. Im thinkin the fuse went out since I had a 3 way splitter and had sorts of stuff hookep up to it.

 

[ojay]

it's most likely the fuse then.

 

[deaconwagers]

something doesn't work? step 1 = check the fuse

 

[NOFX]

I meant have you used a multimeter to make sure you're getting power at all?

I would imagine that there would be a circuit breaker involved, not a fuse.

the cig lighter in his car, not a house outlet.

Always check the fuse first on any electical problem where it just does not work anymore

Yeah um... tons of cars use circuit breaker on high draw circuits... like power windows, locks, and wipers...

A relay is a means of using small current to control large current, not temporarily open a cicuit if there is an over amp condition.
