My guess would just be bad wiring. take it out and check the voltage of the connection at the lighter. See if thats fine. If you have none then its a connection at the power. _____________________________ quote: ORIGINAL: pilsenblue Even tho My car looks great It will never be fast.

Then if it shows nothing then try and get behind it to test the pos and neg wires directly... then at least if you get something out of that then you can just replace the little lighter housing thing. _____________________________ (in reply to gdwife1836) Post #: 6
