Apparently, the fuse was blown. Put a 5 amp in and tried the cell phone charger first. Worked fine. She then put the adapter in and the light went on to let us know it had power to it. Then she plugged in her shield on her helmet. Light out and no power. I assume the fuse went again (enough of that, time better spent riding!) Must have a short in her cord from the helmet. Looks like it will have to wait until next season. We are both due for new helmets and it doesn't pay to spend anymore $ on this one for only possibly 1-2 more rides for the season. I have to assume the fuse must've went on my Apex too, then.

IMO - get the new shield cord and wire it direct to the battery with an inline 5A fuse. Then the acc. plug is always avaialble for the cell charger.

its really sad when you go to a dealer and they put something like a cord for your visor....and they dont put a fuse....i am not a machanic...but why would they not..we pay for it...i put it straight to the bat and put a fuse....a fuse ....is that too hard for these dealers...
