Hey my DC socket (wherever the cigarette lighter fits into) recently stopped working, and I have no idea why. I usually use it for my radar detector and air compressor, and both don't work in the socket now. Is there a reason for this? Opened up my trunk recently and found a pool of water around the spare; is it a water-related issue? Any help greatly appreciatedBtw, all my other electricals seem perfectly fine, and there are not other problems with the car (to my knowledge)

If I remember its just a one wire device with a common ground. Did you blow the fuse to it? If not try pulling it out and check the wiring with a meter.
