So, I went to plug in my Valentine 1 using the cigarett lighter for the first time into my new to me car (I had loaned it to a friend).

It wouldn't power up, nothing. I tested in an another car, works fine. I got back into the Z4, pushed in the cigarette lighter...POP yeah, it's hot, I guess the outlet is working. Plug the Valentine back in ..wiggle the connector all over the place, twist/turn you name it...nothing.

What gives? Has anyone else run into this? My next step is to take a multimeter to the cigarette lighter outlet just to see what's what.

I plan on hardwiring it, but that's on the to-do list for now.

Thanks!
