12vdc is 12vdc ...
If you have power where you're tapping in , and you wire the polarity correctly , you have a bad connection at the splice or a broken piece of equipment .

Here's my issue...
As you can see in the pics, the GPS was running into the cigarette light. Today I pulled the stereo out, cut the end off of the cigarette adapter and tried to connect the GPS with the acc and/or battery connection running to the stereo... No power.
What is wrong...
Is the type of electrical current running to the cigarette lighter different than to the stereo?
What can I do?
Thanks in advance.
