Tiff 36 Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 went through 3 last night .... anyone know what might be the cause? Using a 6mil light, but we've used it for 2 months with no problems, then all of a sudden 3 in 1 night. Only difference between the past times and last night is the temperature, it was quite warm, about 50 deg F, as opposed to teens-twenties. Any advice please! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jaegervulpes 0 Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 sounds like a short in the lamp unit, could it have got damp inside? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tiff 36 Posted March 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 (edited) I don't think it's the lamp, but I'll check with Kye. It is a brand new lamp (just 2 months old) and he babies it. I did notice in the past week that when I plug my cell phone chargers into the car, the light on the cell chargers would flicker rapidly ... (I tried 2 different ones) it had done that flickering thing last month, then a couple of days later blew, but it was when I was not using that lamp, just the phone?

mally 832 Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 I'd put it down to a faulty cigar socket mate, it happened to me in my astra. I replaced the socket and i've had no more problems Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tiff 36 Posted March 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 was it an expensive repair? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
