I did exactly that: Purchased a "cigarette lighter" 12V connector and spliced it on to the wires. It works fine.

To keep the unit sturdy, it is a very tight fit in the 12v socket. First I would make sure that you have it pushed in far enough to make connection. If that doesn't work you could do some troubleshooting. If the red light on the device is lit when you turn your car on, then the car is charging the device and it should turn on. If it doesn't turn on then I would return the device. If the red light does not turn on and you are sure the device is plugged in all the way, as discussed earlier, try a different car or a different socket. You may have blown the fuse in your car that controls the 12v socket. This is easily replaced (read your car manual or look it up online). Hope this helps!

You still should be able to use this, just put it into a 15A outley and then a 15A fuse in the holder. I used it to power a lighter I installed. I put the fuse adapter in a 15A fuse spot, ran the wire then inserted the fuse. It worked fine. Just make sure you have the right type of fuse tap.

If it is wired properly you should only need a 10amp fuse. If there is too many items on the supply line then it may blow fuse. It should be listed in the instructions what the max fuse size is

I just blew a 10A fuse on my cigarette lighter. I have another that is 20A fused. No issues on that one.

I had this issue before, and when asked a friend who had installed he same wire he said his does the same, however, and after 4 months my wire gave out and stopped working... when i got the replacement, the red (alert) light stayed off and only the green light is on unless there is a real alert.So I am not 100% sure if it is defective, but the red light should come on only when there is an alert.

I had to trace the factory wire and replace it with the supplied one from Power Master. Need to solder it so if you can't solder I would consult a professional. Good Luck I am glad to have got the one in my Jeep and am planning to do one for my Durango.

Nice find on that cable I'm not sure if it will work But I spliced together my own cable that fits to a Mag safe adapter as long as you put the voltage over instead of under a little bit should be just fine I've used it plenty of times

It comes with a fused lead that attaches to 12V in your vehicle. It mates to the red plug in the photo, and is plain wire on the other end. You will have to tap into 12V and ground.

In my case I wanted to bring in a wire that was always hot +12v and another that would turn off when the ignition switch was turned off. I tried to figure out which wires to splice from the fuse box and simplified wiring diagram in the owners manual. To confirm what I had, I went to the fuse box with a volt meter and tested the likely fuses and found what I wanted by playing with the switch and checking the most likely fuses. I could then slide my accessory wire in with the fuse prong or tap into the wire in the oem harness that came from that fuse.

Instruction sheet says lighter fuse should be 15A, minimum; not sure how this correlates with the 10A spec in the first line item.

push your leads into the connector, you will hear a click. your good to go. make sure you have the correct polarity. red = hot, black = ground. on most cars white is hot. use a simple circuit tester to make sure. if not you will pop a fuse. good luck.

Be sure the circuit (fuse) has the capacity to handle the load. I have an aux. battery in my van and charged from a Wagan Quick Jump Starter and it blew a 20a fuse after a couple of days of plugging it in. Be sure you isolate the aux battery in some way or your batteries will try to drain each other.

If you have daytime running lights hook it up there or I go off wiper power wire. These are very low voltage should be good on any. Ignition power under hood .here is a site to find some safe wire choices for your car. 12volt.com or bulldog security. Com God bless.

I wired mine with a 12 DC plug and it had power (red light) but would not come on. We had to return ours.

Yes I bought a Cigarette lighter adapter on amazon (http://goo.gl/ZuxNFg) and wired it onto the end of the Red and black wires. It works perfect when moving my radio from vehicle to vehicle.
