Re: Cig lighter DOA ! Steps to finding power? 1 2 3 ?
The way I wired in my Garmin (Valentine would be the same ) is to get one of those female lighter sockets with wire attached and wire it into the glove box light.
I then was then able to route the power cord across the dash at the windshield where you can't see it, then into the right side of the dash to the female socket.
