power outlets..??
are both power outlets on the same fuse?? I only see one fuse --for the accessory ports-- under hood fuse #30... rear port works fine--but the front port on the dash does not work... anyone have any ideas or if it is connected to a different fuse for the front port ??? thanks
|
Some have had a problem with the connector on the back coming off. See if you can get back there to check it.
|
thanks will check that out....
|
the front in mine is a lighter not a power source, but it has no lighter in it....I would love to know a way to convert it
|
well according to the 2008 owners manual both sockets are accessory ports... and can be used to install a lighter to the front on... if you get the smokers package... and it really shouldnt matter--- the center is the hot (+12vdc) and the interior of the can part is the common ground connection... this is pretty much a standard thru out the automotive industry... Most small devices that are run on that port will pull way less amps than a lighter would actually pull..
|
mine is an 06 and my phone charger fits nicely in the back while it fits loosely in the front....doesnt seem deep enough.
|
see page 3-20 and 3-21 of the 2008 owners manual...
|
salty---- they maybe changed the "can depth" now on the 2008 -- my cell charger fits fine in it... just it wont work ... havent dove into why yet... hoping something simple.... if anyone knows of the schematic for that circuit --that would be very helpful... electrical engineer by trade--so pretty handy with a fluke meter :-)

I dont know about the 08s
In my 07 the front wouldnt work and the back did. dealer replaced a fuse and the front works now. I can use the charger or lighter in either hole. An after market lighter would blow the fuse everytime I tried to use it. I got one from dealer and haven't had a problem since. |
what I see in the manual is that there are 2 fuses. #29 fuse is the front outlet (cigar. lighter) and #30 in the rear. This is from the 08 HHR. Located in the fuse box under the hood.
