Subject:      thermoelectric cooler prob update
Content-Type: text/html

<html><div style='background-color:'><DIV>well, after some tinkering around, i plugged the cooler into my wifes S10 blazer and it worked fine.&nbsp; so still scrathing my head.&nbsp; now i have isolated it to just my vehicle and not the unit itself.&nbsp; i started to inspect the cig lighter and noticed that there is a little light connected to the lighter behind the dashed that i never knew was there.&nbsp; obviously in the four years that i owned the van it never worked.&nbsp; upon further inspection of this light there appears to be a female connection at the end of it and lo and behold no wire connected to it!&nbsp; should ther be? is this a ground?&nbsp; there is the main wiring harness going to the cig lighter, about five wires, but no wire going to this little light off the cig lighter.&nbsp; know with the help of my litle mirror i noticed that there is metal going from the light to the cig lighter circuit.&nbsp; but there is definelty a female conection inside the black plastic housing.&nbsp; what am i looking at here? and can this have anything to do with the fuse blowing?&nbsp; just to note, my cd player and cell phone work just fine throught this cig lighter and i have never blown a fuse in this before.</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>also, i thought maybe i could go to radio shack and just buy a cig lighter female end and just go straight to the battery completely bypasssing the main circuit board altogether.&nbsp; any foreseen problems with this slolution?</DIV>
<DIV>TIA</DIV>
