2nd Gen 12v Power Plug In

iSlacker816 · Dec 27, 2011

Is it possible that with alot of the pluggin in and unplugging the socket can somehow "wear out"? I bought a car charger for my phone last night and seems like it only works when I wiggle it around in the plug in...

It is very possible . Or a loose connection on the back of the outlet

Think I could pick one up from radio shack a parts store or would I have to get one from the dealer?

ramhunter9 · Dec 27, 2011

Not sure on that one . Could get one cheap out of the pick and pull

iSlacker816 · Dec 27, 2011

Yea good call, thanks bud

ramhunter9 · Dec 27, 2011

No problemo

If you don't get one at the pick and pull, a radio shack would work, just wire it up.

Lick all the metal contacts on the charger then plug it in. It will work like new

iSlacker816 · Dec 27, 2011

Oh will it Badger? lmao

make sure your 12V power outlet contact (center bottom) is clean. also, try another 12 plugin and see if it works fine. could be the accessory that you're plugging in that is the culprit.

iSlacker816 · Dec 27, 2011

Well the charger is brand new, I just figured the last owner used it alot cuz it seems loose like the actual plug in isnt snug

Rogan68 · Dec 27, 2011

fine, don't try another item then.. LOL

I'd help you more, but you keep ditching me on MW3

As goofy as it sound yes it will work. Saliva contains a large amour of salt which is a conductor of electricity. Give it a try, it might solve your problem.

We need a new section called " This ol Hillbilly "

Lol hey now, I wasn't ditching you. I had to get off the last time we played so next time you see me on shoot me and invite

.

And i don't have anything else to plug in....

Sorry, all I hear is 'Blah, blah, blah'..

You can basically replace the socket with almost any socket, as they're fairly universal. That doesn't mean they're ALL the same, mind you..

I'm not sure how our Truck sockets are constructed, but in others there are side pieces that can be pryed out along the walls of the recepticle. Doing this and also looking at the male end of what you are plugging in and prying out the side connectors if they are made in such a way to allow prying can help. Either/both will give you a tighter connection. The recepticles hardly ever go bad unless you burn them up with overload/short. However they do get loose over time and use.
