I'm driving an older car ('99 Pontiac Grand Am) and am having a heck of a time using 12V accessories like cell phone chargers which plug into the dashboard cigarette lighter receptacle.
It doesn't seem like the receptacle is deep enough or something and a lot of plugs don't seem to push in far enough for the spring clips to hold the plug in the socket.
I recently bought a little 12V tire inflator that says only to use it on 15+ amp receptacles and not to use it on older 8 amp receptacles... have power receptacles changed in design over the last several years? I'd be okay changing out the receptacle but I'd like to know if there's a specific type/model of receptacle I should be looking for.
