Hi,

Thanks - someone else also suggested the cig lighter to me.  I use it for 
my cell phone power, but wouldn't have thought to check it.  I pulled the 
radio and on the surface it looked okay, although I didn't unwrap and 
inspect everything.  I know something's shorting but wasn't sure where to 
start.  Since I have two votes for the cig lighter, I'll start there.

Thanks!
