Hi,
I seem to have a few problems with electrical devices in my D22. Navman, PDA, laptop. Nothing seems to get enough charge to keep the unit running. Well most of the time. Some times it works fine and the unit charges without an issue. It generally just gets enough power to light up the led to say it's connected. The battery monitor in the gps software will show 99% battery all the time when it's working proper, but when it's not, it goes between 99% charging, to 100% charged, switching back and forth continually.
I've tested the charges in another car and they work without issue.
My Cig plug also has a habit of getting so hot it melts the end.
I get about 12.5v when car off/ around 13.5/14v (i can't recall exactly) when running. I thought my cig plug might be a bit dodge, so spliced the cable and connected the navman charger straight in.
I have the uhf running off the same cable and it's fine. It makes no difference if it's turned off or not.
I'm not noticing any voltage differences when it's not working properly.
Any idea's?
I'm going to see about either using a different power source (maybe the radio) or run a separate cable.
Otherwise might be a visit to the auto elec.
Cheers
