Mine did the same thing. I had to replace the fuse (Radio Shack, 3 for $3.99). The fuse is easy to replace. Just unscrew the tip of the part that fits in the power port/cigarette lighter, dump out the old fuse, and put in the new one. Then replace the tip. Don't lose the metal button at the tip of the power plug when you unscrew it. Also, there is a power switch on the left side that you have to press to turn the thing on.

Mine powers up fine but I can't get it to transmit anything. Anyone have a fix for that?

Cigarette lighter
check the fuse box inside the truck and under the hood 1 should be marked for cigarette lighter or Power Point or accessory if you did not out you need to pull the cigarette lighter from the dash so you can get to the wires in the back of the lighter and then test the wires with a test light to see if it's getting power probably just a piece that's what generally goes wrong

I have a remote car starter, but find that the car does not heat up enough to clear the frost sometimes. I thought of adding a small electric heater that plugs into the cigarette lighter, but in my car (a...
do you have your heater controls set to defrost and the fan on high when you park the car,that way when you use your remote it is already set up.Your scooter though,I guess if it was me,I would run wires up to the front seat so I could plug it in the cigarette lighter while I was driving to charge up.

Fuse blown on cigarette lighter Saturn 2001
It sounds like you have a bad charging cable for the GPS or the cable is overloading the cigarette lighter.

The cigarette lighter is designed for less power then a 12v power outlet.

Therefore it is easy to blow the fuse for the cigarette light if you install something that draws too much power.

Cigarette front lighter is not working in my 2001Saab
Check ALL the fuses. pull them out an dlook. Also repace the one that is power for the dash/rradio/etc... even if it looks good.
If that doe snot fix it then pull the lighter out and test the wire going to it for power. If it has power then you might have a bad plug/ground. Replace outlet if so.
