Lighter works sometimes, sometimes it doesn't
Does anyone else have this problem? Sometimes it works great and other times it won't work at all. It's gotten to the point where it is really annoying. We have a DVD player in the back seat for my son and it's nice to be able to plug the charger in for the long trips. I was just curious if this was a common problem or not and what the fix was. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Scott

How burnt and dirty is the inside of the socket? Clean with a wood pencil eraser and a little sandpaper attached with a rubber band, over the eraser end..
Vacuum clean.
Does the socket seem loose and turn in it's mounting?
This indicates a possible poor ground.
Insure the adapter fits correctly, check the center positive connector for a good spring load.
Does the lighter heat up correctly?
