jeebowhite Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Hi mate, sounds to me like there is not enough of a connection around the ciggy lighter and the contacts on the chargers. Is this the 12v in the boot or the front? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 The contacts in a Ford socket tend to be looser than other cars for some reason. You may have to bend the contacts on your charger a bit for better connectivity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeebowhite Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 most estates tend to have them by default, if not you can always wire one in. But yea, try other car chargers and plug them in see if the LED lights up, if it doesnt, then check the fuses, but you might find some with a wider spread of the contacts are the ones that work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
