What Cord?

Your asking about plugging it into the homes
electrical outlet ?

Can't use just any cord,not a two prong lamp cord
type extension,no

You use a three prong grounded extension wire

Does it not have several feet of wire on it & a three
prong plug?

You use a standard outdoor extension, like you
would for a vacuum cleaner outside

If you use it a lot, buy a short 6 foot one,just to
use with it

How about the owners manual ?

    No there is two prongs on one side and a cigarette lighter port on the other side. Bought it at a yard sale no manual and no chord

    I hope you won't take this as a insult But I would get rid of it for two reasons First it is damaged (no cord or plug ) second with 50 years of automotive experience I would suggest you never use a product like that in you light outet You can ruin the cars electronics if you do so The light was designed to charge your phone nothing else You also can not jump a vehicle with a light plugin item Three reasons Don't fix it & don't use it Ask us first next time

    Please don't take this as an insult but i decided to try using a drop chord to charge it and it worked just fine. And i am a female but I'm not incompetent I was just telling you what was on it not trying to use the port to charge it

2003 Jeep Liberty V6. Please I'm in need of advice.

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved to model category.

All windows have fuses and relays, but your issue just sounds like a battery that doesn't have enough volts and amps to pull the solenoid on the latch.

If you can afford a new battery, buy a battery charger for 25-30 bucks. Try this, Put the battery charger leads on the battery connectors, red to plus and black to minus. Tape the charger clamps down. Turn the charger on. Undo the battery clamp nuts and lift the connectors off. Clean the posts of the battery and inside the clamps with sandpaper. Clean with a cloth, and smear them with Vaseline. Put the clamps back on and tighten them up. The reason you do this is so that the power to the engine computer is maintained to you also keep the anti-theft system immobilizer connection alive. Charge the battery overnight. Then try your locks and windows.

Hello, After charging my Peak 300 Jump Starter it whistle's (loudly) after I unplug it and it just keeps whistling... Can you tell me what the matter? email:

Refer to the instructions that came with charger. If you threw them away you have a problem You can go on line and download instructions.
Low Charge Alert (LCA)
On the front of the unit there is a Low Charge Alert port. There is a red plug in this port. With the plug
removed, when the battery level drops to LO, an alarm will sound to remind the user to recharge the
Jump-Starter.
The alarm can be turned off one of three ways:
•
Placing the pin back into the Low Charge Alert port
•
Recharging the battery immediately to bring it to the capacity of 10% or more
•
Pressing the battery indicator display button. If the alarm is turned off by pressing the battery
display button, the alarm will sound automatically again in approximately 1 hour.
The alarm will only be turned off permanently if the battery is in a fully charged state, or the pin is
inserted in the Low Charge Alert port. There is a storage port on the back of the Jump-Starter for the
LCA plug. When the plug is removed from the LCA port, it should be installed in the storage port on the
back of the Jump-Starter.
Charging Jump-Starter Battery
All rechargeable batteries gradually discharge when left idle, and you need to recharge them
periodically to maintain maximum battery capacity. The AC charger plug within the Jump-Starter is
designed to charge using a 110/120-volt outlet.
•
Fully charge unit to the recommended maximum and initial charge time of 24 hours. Thereafter, an
AC typical charge time is 8 to 12 hours.
•
Recharge the unit fully after each use. This will prolong the life of the battery because frequent
discharges between recharges will reduce battery life.
•
Make sure all functions of the Jump-Starter are turned off during recharging

My mity mite ps-120a has a new battery but the wiring isn't correct and I have no idea how to correctly connect it for it to start working

the earth wires will be traceable back to being bolted to the chassis/body in the engine bay, usually coloured black, the positive go to the starter or othe engine componets and are usually coloured red and/or yellow, the will be one earth/black wire that is bolted onto the engine itself but not to any component , hope this helps

WHEN THE UNIT IS FULLY CHARGED DOES IT FLASH GREEN OR RED.

Maybe the rechargeable battery needs replacing. Go to a battery store and buy a replacement.

Car wiil not start while turning key but makes a ticking noise

Obvious choise is a dead battery.

Check your lights, horn (horn often sounds weak or sickly with a dead battery.)

If a dead battery, check the battery terminals for corrosion.

Try charging or jumping the car off. If it starts, take to an auto parts place, most will do a battery/alternator check for free. (Be prepared, they will make you kill the engine, which means you either buy a battery there & replace, or better have cables to jump off and drive somewhere else. on other hand, most will lend you some wore out tools to install the new battery, but their insurance does not allow them to do it for you. )
