Accessory socket in Mazda6 not charging Garmin 1450lmt

there will be a fuse for the cigarette lighter socket probably in the accessories section fuse and should be about 20-25 amps. Check out the socket for a short or check the way you put the adaptor in the socket as a bit of misalignment will short out the centre point which is the live wire.

Check USB power cable it could be bad. If you have a micro USB connect to computer. If it gets power then you charger is bad.

Sounds like a bit of a stretch... (nah).

"Lighter" is a GREAT OUTLET...
Has been for decades.

Perhaps it is just time to consider some BATTERY MAINTENANCE... cable and terminal cleaning
or even A REPLACEMENT battery.

I ASSURE you a cigar/cigarette lighter ELEMENT
pulls a lot more power than your Garmin Nuvi 1450LMT.

Get your JEEP battery checked...!!

There is a battery in the satnav but it's not user replaceable. It can only be replaced by returning it to Garmin. Before sending it away to replace the battery you could check the following;

• Have you the satnav connected to the charger?

• If it's connected to the charger is the cigarette lighter socket working. You can check by plugging in another device to see if it works
• If the cigarette lighter socket is working and the battery of the satnav is not charging it's possible that the fuse in the plug, that goes into the cigarette lighter socket, is blown.

To change the fuse;
Unscrew the ring that's at the end of the plug and the plug comes apart. Be careful not to lose the silver coloured tip. When the plug comes apart you can take out the fuse and get a replacement at any car accessory shop or a shop that sells garmin satnavs.

If you have to return your satnav to garmin you can find their contact details at http://www.garmin.com/garmin/cms/home/support/supportcontact

You can download the manual here. Charging instructions are on page 48.
Depending on the package you purchased, you may have a USB cable. If so, connect the cable to your n?vi and your computer USB port. USB hubs may not be capable of charging the unit.
If you do not have a USB cable, and are not able to charge the n?vi in your car, the fuse in your car vehicle adapter may be bad. You can unscrew the black round end piece from the adapter. This will be on the end that goes into the lighter/power socket. Be careful not to loose the silver cap. The fuse is spring loaded and may pop out. The proper replacement fuse type is indicated on the side of the vehicle adapter.
Garmin also offers an optional AC adapter that can be used without a computer.

Garmin satnavs come with a charge out of the box.
In some cases your device may have lost a charge during shelf life. In this case you can charge these units in three ways:

1. Place unit on computer with USB cable for approximately 8-12 hours
2. Place unit on Garmin specified AC adaptor for approximately 4-6 hours
3. Place unit on 12V vehicle adaptor for approximately 4-6 hours.

Some cars continue to supply power to the cigarette lighter socket when turned off and others don't. If yours doesn't you can charge it from your computer. There's no indicator to show that it's charging or when it's charged. However when you disconnect the satnav from the computer and turn it on there's a battery state indicator which shows if it's fully charged or not.

Sometimes, if the Garmin GPS battery is allowed to fully discharge, it would require charging directly via USB cable connected to a PC or Mac before it would accept a charge for the cigarette lighter again. Try connecting this way for 4 - 8 hours or more before going forward.

Check the cigarette lighter plug in another "known good" lighter socket / vehicle to help rule out a defective socket. A socket without power indicates anything from needing to change a "simple to replace" fuse - or a bigger problem - damaged wiring in the vehicle (if the socket is used to light cigars & cigarettes - vacuum the socket out to remove ash and tobacco that may collect inside). Trying the GPS elsewhere helps eliminate possible problems with the socket. If it doesn't work elsewhere, depending on the plug that goes into the socket, it too may have a built-in fuse. Check the plug for an exposed fuse - or see if the tip unscrews to provide access to a fuse inside. If unsure, the tech Support people at Garmin are a great source for free help.

Lastly, dirt or grime on the "cradle to GPS" connection or "cable to cradle" connection could be causing the failed connection. In short - carefully inspect all points of connection and remove any deposits found.
