      I have a 99 Grand Am SE 3.4l. I have power to my cigarette lighter outlet, like if I plug something in the light will come on but wont charge anything. I even tried changing it and still nothing. Any idea what is wrong?
      Thanks

        if you own a multimeter, set it to VDC and touch one probe to the center-back part of the outlet and the other to the side of the outlet and measure the voltage. it should be roughly 12.6V. if its lower (like less than 10) you might have high resistance in the circuit cause by a corroded wire or plug. it might have enough power to turn on a light on a charger but might not be enough to charge properly.

          I don’t own a multimeter. Is there another way to test it?

            not that i can think of. you could always just take it apart and do a visual check but i would suggest just going and buying a multieter. you can get them from any auto parts store for $5-10. that would be the best way to do it. itll save you the hassle of tearing it apart.

              Use a 12v test light.
