Cig power/3.5 jack problem

When i plug in cig lighter power cord and run 3.5 jack into car audio aux jack the female end of fuze acts up but once i unplug power cord fuze works perfectly. i have exchanged fuze for new one and same result. i have also swapped power cig plug and 3.5 wire. as long as power and 305 jacks are plugged in at the same time i get crappy sound if any sound at all. if i unplug 3.5 jack halfway it seems to work fine..help, i need a valium and three buds to make this headache go away.

ipodslinger: No, I have swapped 3.5 cord 3 times and same result. what is also odd is if i plug in a headphone it works fine in headphones. i personally feel there's something wacky going on between the power cord and the 3.5 jack. as i said, this is my 3rd fuze so its not that either.

have you tried another cigarette light jack?
maybe it the ciggy jack

is it possible that the headphone jack or the rca jack cord could be damaged. the unplug and pull out half way sorta tells me that when the jack makes connection with another part of the jack it works.
something is goofy with the jack or the cord.

Both cigarette lighter ports aren't working In 2109 chevy express 3500. Chevy checked all the fuses. Is there a relay involved

2109, I am answering from the dead pool. via a black hole,worm hole.
and almost 100 years in the future, we end cig ports and charge ports then and went full blown USB v50 AND or mag change slots.
sorry
the truth for many is they have no clue cars can have 2 or 4 fuSE boxes. 2 in cab and 2 in engine bay and even varies by the engine size,
BUT now fully gone, with PURE EV Byzantium batteries. the element found on MARs year 2050, with car EV batteries the sized of breadbox
and recharges in 10 seconds. AND RUNS 1000 MILES .
if you scan the PCM it will tell you what failed, so didnt?
BUT ELECTRIC BILLS NOW $2 PER kw/HOUR.
OUCH BUT A dollars is worth a penny then. oops.

i logged in to 2009 service manual on line for you.
and found.
BOTH UNDER HOOD! ALL 20AMPS
FUSE 38 named: LTR/DLC 20AMPS KILLS CIG (and scan tool both)
AUX JACK 33 IS AUX JACK ONLY.
SORRY NO RELAY YEAR 2009 BUT 2109 , NO CAR FOUND.
'
2019 SAME BOX, UNDERHOOD and again sorry no relays.
FUSE F70UA AND F25UA, 20AMPS BOTH.
2109, WE USE 20AMP BCM REGULATORS NO FUSES MA'/ AND IF YOU REMOVE THE SHORTS IN THE JACKS THE POWER RESUMES , like magic.
AUTOMATICALLY.

ymmv,

Sounds Like You Have An Exposed Hot Wire Somewhere. I Would Try And Change Cig Lighter Wiring Harness. Be Sure And Check Your Aux Outlets So That There Are No Exposed Wires. They All Run On The Same Fuse Hope This Helps!!
