Should only be 2 wires to connect it. I would think if it’s lit up it should be working. Maybe a bad charging cable?

Yup, only per and ground. Both hooked up. I've used different cables to rule that out. Cables are good.
That's why I wired it to keyed pwr. I didn't want it lit at night while it's parked. Sometimes it sits over a week without starting it. I know LEDs don't draw alot of pwr, but I still don't want it constantly on.Could be how you've wired it. Might just be lights showing n that's all?

Back to basics, and end the soap opera. Verify the input voltage and if that's good, substitute your old socket and a phone charger. Maybe your new adapter is defective.

Just documenting my steering shaft replacements.
Did upper and lower shafts. Pain in the balls like everything else on this Hoe! Done--but to 90% correctness. Call it good for government work!
Pics to satisfy all you voyeurs!
Upper shaft. It's best to remove the gas pedal to get to the bolt.
Check out the differences between the old oem design compared to the new design. OEM is on top. I separated the upper shaft into 2 pieces. SPLINES!!

Nice work!
Looks pretty involved. Did you find any steering sensors on your journey?

Hey looking at the 1st clip,is that shaft supposed to roll over straight or is it okay to have a slight bend in it. Can you see that from the cab while turning the wheel?New shafts together.

I think there was a steering sensor above the shaft where it's bolted to the column--
It's the round white disc in the upper left of the pic.

Yes I was looking at that. I have a surge in the p.s sometimes turning right. I have been told that sensor is the reason why.
