Electrical noob, please help me troubleshoot this. I have a 12v powerlet in the dash that I use to power a Tourmaster heated vest. My first plug fell apart (apparently) so I requested a new one from the dealer since I thought it was just defective. Tonight when I plugged in the new one (I use a powerlet to cigarette lighter adapter) I saw a white light flicker and heard a tiny pop. The power light died. When I pulled the assembly apart the plug had fallen apart just as the first.
So I assume this set-up is wrong and a new plug will eventually blast apart again. Some pics attached. The fuse in the plug didn't blow in either situation by the way, but the inline fuse close to the battery blew tonight. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you in advance!
