USB Power Adapter Not Working

[PapaBruno]

Just bought one of these low-profile car power power adapters from ThinkGeek.com:

I thought it had arrived DoA since it wasn't lighting up or charging my phone when plugged into either of the outlets in my MS3. Seems to work just fine in other cars though. And I also have a generic adapter from Fry's Electronics that works just fine in my car. Think Geek was cool enough to send me another and that one doesn't work in my MS3 either.

Reads on the back of the package:
DC Input 12V
DC Output: 5V @ 2.1A

Any electrical wizards in here know why?

Sounds like a fuse is burnt out or you have a wiring issue. Try the easy thing first and check your accessory fuse.

bleh no more posting for me. missed the part where another adapter works fine.

My guess would be that something about the physical dimensions probably not allowing it to go in all the way into the plug, or their QC is nonexistent.
