Where do i plug in the 120 charger on my garmin nuvi 760

The fuse may be gone in the charger. There's a ring, near the silver tip, of the plug that goes into the cigarette lighter. If you unscrew the ring the plug will come apart. Take care not to lose the silver tip as it may fall out. Replace the fuse and it may solve the problem.

Unscrew the cap of the lighter portion of the plug. You will find the tube type fuse. Pull out and replace. Good Luck.

It's most likely that the fuse has blown in the charger plug. Instructions complete with pictures are available from http://www.garmin.com/garmin/cms/cache/offonce/us/support/searchsupport;jsessionid=DB06036F1F1FBB6DE01E21EE59D70192

plug it in to the wall charger or car charger for about 4 hours, then slide and hold power button for up to 15 seconds till it starts.



if that fails, unplug the nuvi then press and hold the lower right hand corner of the screen until you see the message " Do you really want to erase all user data?" remove your finger from the screen and select YES. (this will erase all your saved data) this should reset your nuvi to the factory settings.


use the web updater to update your nuvi once you get it started again.

you can get it HERE

let me know if you need further help.

The AC charger plugs into the mini-USB port on the bottom of the unit. The term AC is somewhat misleading as the AC charger plugs into an AC outlet but provides +5VDC to charge the units internal 3.7VDC battery.

You can purchase an OEM AC charger here:

Car Charger must be plugged into the winshield mount/dock and the Nuvi docked on the windshield mount.

Hi I have this model too. You must have the 120v charger with the Mini-B  port on it. It plugs into that port on the bottom(PS3 controllers cameras, and other Computer devices often have a mini-B USB

You may need to replace the battery.

The video on the link below shows how to replace the battery in a Garmin Nuvi:

How To Change The Battery On A Garmin Nuvi 760

Using the PC to charge a Nuvi is not the correct way to charge. Use either the AC wall charger or DC car charger. Many PC USB ports can not supply enough current to charge a Nuvi.

Sounds like you both have a battery problem. I experienced a similar problem when trying to charge via the USB-cable connected to my computer.
Ended up buying an original charger (expensive) and the charging went smooth.
The car charger should in any case work fine, so probably your battery is not very healthy.

Try holding your finger on the battery symbol for about 10 sec. The unit will then switch to a technical page. There you can observe the battery and charging voltage. When I plug in my computer USB-cable, I read around 4,4V and that is not sufficient for charging my battery.
When connected to the original charger, this voltage rises to about 5V which gives a nice charge. When unplugging charger, the unit displays the battery capacity. If the charging voltage is OK, but battery capacity drops quickly after you unplug charger cable, the battery is probably bad. (Of course you have to charge is for some time) I think around 4V battery voltage give 100% capacity. 3,9V gives about 90% capacity.
This will not solve your problem, but can give you an idea about what is wrong.
Good luck.
