I use the upper socket for my Sat radio, when it was working. Iplug in a few days get a moment on the off again. Fuse still ok. Can not get the socket out to test from fuse in to it.I have 2 in the truch but one on lower is a power socket which is ok. But on on the switch on side giving me fits. Please help.
