    Rather Odd A/C Outlet Issue

    OK, so I have an FM transmitter, and a separate car charger for my iphone. The weirdest thing happens when I try to use it. If the car is cold, it works just fine. Soon as the car warms up in the interior, it stops working. Anyone got a fix for that one? Happens with either device, so I know it's not the devices....

    Sounds like a loose connection in your outlet; which is DC, but thats just nomenclature. Moisture or something could have gotten in there. I would pull it apart clean it, test it and slap it back together.

    Sounds like a moisture issue. Might be worth trying something like this.

    I completely disassembled it, but everything looks just fine. Any suggestions? Maybe a loose connector?
