[DML] Re: Ohm's Law (Cigar lighter output)

["Harold McElraft" <hmcelraft@xxxxxxx>]

I've run into this situation before when I have attempted to use the 
outlet for various accessories. Look into the outlet and you will 
see that the + supply has a very large tab in a "u" shape. That tab 
is probably grounding out because of an incompatible design of the 
plug of your accessory.

To get around this I purchased an adapter at Radio Shack that has 
worked fine. I have seen additional adapters that have proper fits 
for modern accessories installed in the wooden frame just above the 
battery. The back opens up into the space between the fuse/relay 
compartment and the wooden frame. However, I just use a three outlet 
multi-plug from Radio Shack plugged into the D outlet if I want to 
run a CB, etc.
