May be, but I hate to pull the dash apart and find out the plug is bad. Then I have to put it back together.

Crap. I guess I'll pull it off twice if I have to.

You could always pull it off and if everything appears tight, take the socket down to the local parts store and match it up just to make sure it will fit. They usually have them in the 'Help!' section or electrical aisle. 10-15 bucks.

I had one that stopped working. There are 2 fuses that reference to the power adapter. One for the Power Port and 1 for the cigarette lighter.

Thx. I'll take a look again.

I wouldn't replace it unless it was mangled or broken. Usually if it works intermittently it's because the internal tang that holds the plug in has lost tension. I haven't looked at a jk but you can usually get a small screwdriver in there and bend it back out a little.
Alternatively is it only one device that your having issue with in that socket? Sometimes the plug can be too small to make good contact

I have looked high and low for that part number and can't find it. You could talk to the parts department at the dealer for the part number... then go shopping online. (I do this all the time, Kyle knows I'm just trying to save a couple few $$)

Yeah, & 80 bucks. I don't care if it works, for that
