Question about cigarette lighter..

Hows it going guys, I am curious as to why my cigarette lighter works fine, but when I plug a phone charger, gps or anything else along those lines in it doesnt work, is there some sort of converter these older trucks need to power these modern devices? Thanks!

Re: Question about cigarette lighter..

Is your plug for the phone charger or GPS making good contact with the lighter plug? I know sometimes my aux phone antenna has to be wiggled around to work.Otherwise it should be fine,I run chargers,GPS,phone antenna etc off most of my trucks with no troubles...

Make sure the socket is tight in the ash tray housing or it wont get a ground.
