Magellan Gps Outlet
How do you use your car’s ciargette lighter to power devices?
I have a Magellan 3225 that came with a car cigarette lighter adapter.
I’m confused as to how to get the power adapter to power the gps unit. When I plug the cigarette lighter adapter into the cigarette lighter, nothing happens. (On my 1998 Toyota Carolla)
On my other car, a 2003 Highlander, there are two outlets.
One is the cigarette lighter and the other is a power outlet.
When I plug the adapter into the power outlet, it works.
So on my SUV, I just plug the gps unit into the designated power outlet.
So how do I get the cigarette adapter to power my gps unit on my carolla?
Thanks in advance
Since you know the cable works in the Highlander then the cable should work in the Corolla. Make sure you are pushing the adapter all the way in. Some adapters have a little power light to show it is connected.
Also make sure you have the ignition key all the way on when trying this (car running).
If that doesn’t work, it could be that the lighter socket on your car is not working because the lighter socket fuse is blown or missing. Any repair shop can check that for you if you don’t feel confident doing it yourself.
