It's the sockets themselves, not the wiring. While they appear to be of a standard specification, there are differences among plugs and sockets, sometimes enough to prevent a connection from being made.

Yep............... some newer vehicles still have a cigarette lighter:eek: and a power port, the power port is needed because some device chargers will not make a proper connection to a lighter socket.............
