Hoping for some help!!
I have a 93 Dakota Extended Cab, 260,000 km v6 manuel trans. There are no powertrain or elctrical issues with this unit.
I have one of those "400W Mobile Power Inverters" It's the kind that you plug into the cig lighter and it delivers 110 to an electrical appliance, like a drill or sander etc. I use it when I haven't got an electrical outlet handy.
This is real handy for outside projects, anyway, I plugged it into my cig lighter and started the truck to give a steady power supply to the inverter and "POP" the power failed.
The cigarette lighter wouldn't put out power. Naturally I thought it was the fuse so I checked but the fuse was fine. The lighter is connected according to the "Chassis Electrical System" chart to the air conditioner, radio, etc. All these items are functioning properly but, the problem still remains, no power to and obviously from the lighter outlet, ( yes i checked with a meter)So I was wondering is there an inline fuse hidden in the dash somewhere or some other metering method/gadget that I don't know about or has some other event occured that I'm not looking for? If any one can help PLEASE send me your thoughts on theis problem.
