Not that I know of. Check your lighter fuse or try it in another car...should work. takes a little while to warm up.

the only fuse is with your cig. lighter outlet; make sure another piece of eqpt. works there and if not replace the fuse in your fuse block for the cig. liter

Use a voltage meter to check for 12v at the connection between the long wire and the short wire going to the heater. If you do have 12v there then there is a problem with the heater itself. Otherwise I think there is a fuse in the part that plugs into the cigarette lighter. The circuit that supplies the cigarette lighter usually also has a fuse on it.

Don't think so.........ours quit working soon after it was purchased also. Bummer!! It is such a good idea, but they just don't have it perfected yet.

Yes, there is a fuse in the plug that goes in the cigarette lighter. It comes apart after unscrewing the Philips head screw and taking of the red tip. Careful, fuse is held by a spring and may get airborn when taking plug apart. Automotive stores should have a replacement, could not read whats on the fuse but it starts with a 5. However, chances are this will happen again in which case I would send it back. I have two that still work in their second season.

When you plug something into it and it does not work try resetting it. If that does not work try replacing it.

Did you try to plug light in the other outlet? And did you reset the unit? Hope this works

Check for power at the outlet by plugging in another electrically powered item. If there is no power check the circuit breaker,fuse or ground fault interuptor whichever you have. If you have power and you are within the warranty contact your dealer. If the unit is out of warranty buy another from Amazon. They are not expensive.

No plug is provided -at least with the one that I got which arrived DOA and I returned

Make sure it is fully charged before you turn it on. Mine worked for only a few weeks though.

Make sure the socket has power and that the cord is properly plugged in, try a another one if you have one, the size is pretty generic. But yes, either the unit is dead or it isn't getting power. In the off chance the bulbs have gone out you can see if it's charged by using the power meter.

I agree with the other answer here, try using it plugged in. we've had ours for a couple years and its fine. you may want to talk to manufacturer see if they can do anything for you

We have it for over three years and have no problems at all and we still love it. I would say yes, call the manufacturer. Maybe it got plugged?

I haven't had any problems with mine. Not sure on that one. Just glad they are cheap enough to replace if there is a problem. I would be more than willing to bet that it's not the plug. Maybe check with Amazon or try to contact the seller if possible. Wish I could be more help with this one.

You can try plugging in the power cord, then unplugging and plugging back in. That made mine work for a few weeks. Then it stopped and started working again but the meter was totally wrong, saying it was full when it was really dead! Then it stopped working all together and I can't get it to work again. It's frustrating but there doesn't seem to be an answer.

just make sure its charged up. mine came charged. see if it has a color lite when you plug it in and see if it changes when it's charged.

try on new batteries only / then electric cord plugin only / then read the owners manual / then if it will not work return it

Can you make sure it is the battery and not the ac power cord or connector? Once you do that you should be able to return for a free replacement or refund for DOA.

That had happened to me as well. Just unplug and try plugging it back in. Took a few tries but back up in no time. Great purchase sounds great.

I would call the manufacturer. It sounds like something is wrong with the unit. Mine worked immediately with no issues, and I did NOT charge it before use....just plugged it right in and it worked. Sorry!!

Did you plug it directly into a wall plug or use and extension cord? Extension cord could be bad. Check outlet to verify it is active. If all this checks out then it's possible you have a bad switch or perhaps an inline fuse is blown. Call the company and see if they have a tech who can work with you. I just plugged mine into the wall inlet and it started up just fine. Good Luck.
