Boom Boom 12V Cigarette Charger and my cell phone adapter

[mshowe]

I have a 1993 VR. I just installed a cigarette lighter for charging my cell phone. I tested the cigarette lighter with the lighter, no issues, in 20 seconds it was hot and popped out (as expected). I plugged in my cell phone car charger adapter and in a couple of seconds I heard a loud pop and smoke coming from my adapter.

 

I hooked red (center wire) to positive terminal and black wire to negative terminal.

 

What did I do wrong?

 

Thank you.

Never Mind.

 

I won't even tell you what I did incorrectly.

 

This thread can be deleted. I'll look how to do it also.

Everyone makes mistakes and if you do not share one of us are doomed to repeat it.

Yea that...and besides...some of our best discussions here are based on nothing more than teasing each other about dumb mistakes.

 

Now...I COULD just delete this thread...but that just don't seem right.

Yes, that was a good one but have a couple that could come CLOSE to matching it.
