cigarette lighter socket

[directory]

i don't have power to this socket. plus its a no go with the 2 accessory sockets (one front/ one back) none of them work.

any ideas why? do i need to re-run the wires?

the fuses are all ok. no trailor hitch wires or anything. all other electrical is fine...so far.

pull the plugs and see if the wires are still there.

I know of some folks that have cooked their wires from running to much stuff from them.

is there an easy way to pull them? i mean, other than taking the panel off?

if the wires are cooked, what guage wire should i replace them with? keeping in mind that up front, i may run a radar detector and cell phone charger.

out back, lord only know what i may come up with...

is 8 guage overkill?

would directly feeding off the battery be ok? (fused at both ends of course) this way power is at a constant on.

radar detector and cell phone is nothing for wattage.
