brian in buddina Posted 4February, 2018 Report Share Posted 4February, 2018 My cigareette lighter does not hold my phone charger very tightly. This causes the charging light to flicker and the charger will fall out easily. I have put a small piece of cardboard to tighten the fit but its not a great solution. Has anyone solved this issue?

Dreamr Posted 5February, 2018 Report Share Posted 5February, 2018 The best solution is to look inside the socket and you will see 2 x tabs that need to be bent back into the socket ... over time they get bent outwards which loosens the hold on the plug being inserted .... Warning ..... either disconnect the battery or pull the fuse before putting anything inside the socket. It's to stop you from blowing the fuse and potentially causing damage ...

I made it, bought a cigar lighter adapter, dismantled, made hole in spare blanking plate, fitted, soldered some wires and connected it to stereo wiring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll see if I've got a spare blanking plate in the garage, would you prefer dash or console? (different blanking plates), might be a few weeks or more as I'm trying to do the suspension, brakes and bearing for PCNSW supersprint on 4th March Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason E Posted 9February, 2018 Report Share Posted 9February, 2018 I bought one of the very small double usb plugs. I think it's belkin (maybe Gecko). Fits straight in & never popped out. I'll take a picture & text it to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
