mshowe Posted September 24, 2010 Share #1 Posted September 24, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
