Rear 12V AC Outlet does not work with my HTC phone charger

Try this if you havent already. It opens up another USB port for your music and leaves the one on the dash for charging. No need to charge with the back plug after this.

I have the same EXACT problem. The plugs don't stay secure to make a good connection. It sucks!!!

Seriously... what the hell. It worked fine the first week I got the truck.

Strange mine do, Hummer, mine fits fine I only tried it once as I use the adaptor in my console to charge my phone i have the 12volt car chargers as well as the USB adapters

Damn, this sucks for me at least. We have the same charger too...

Sounds to me like an issue with the charger plug not the outlet?

It's possible, but it doesn't explain why it used to work and now it doesn't? Also, that I've tried 3 different plugs. Any ideas?

I've gone through three of these outlets. I got the dealership to swap the first one out and it worked fine. The initial outlet didn't hold any plug very well and I tried numerous plugs. I noted that it would only work if I 'pushed' it against the outlet. Anyhoo the second worked fine but then busted the plastic door and bought the third lol.

I'm glad to hear it's something that can be replaced. I think I'll hit the dealership next time

Does anything else work in the plug?

Is the green light on?

I haven't tried anything but 4 plugs.

Yes the green light is on

I have had no issues with it. From galaxy s charger, ipad, camera battery charger, and even a dremel. It sounds like the plug has lost the neutral or something..

Here's the other thing... I left the plug in the truck for a couple months. I used it on and off... eventually I realized it was no longer charging. Could me leaving it plugged in the truck have caused anything?
