I have the roadpro 100 watt power innverter and kids pull to hard on the cigarette power cord and the brown and blue wire came out and just want to know when u attach the cord to the inverter which wire is on which side. The plug that plugs into inverter has m shape or humps and bottom of it is flat. Please help
I would guess the blue is POSITIVE, and goes to the tip of the lighter plug. However, get a voltmeter and check...
Cheers.

I have had this same problem with several power inverters over time. The problem is usually one of three things.
Those starting with the simplest.
1. Too much current being drawn on the inverter.
Solution (Check appliances that are plugged in and make sure they are not drawing more than 1200 watts. If they are unplug the appliance that is using the most current and get an inverter that is more suited to your power needs.)
2. Some power inverters have fuses built on to them. Sometimes multiple fuses. Sometimes, one fuse may burn out leaving one intact. When this happens even small items draw too much current and over load the inverter.
Solution (Replace the fuses)
3. Improper installation. Inverters draw a lot of current. You must use the propper wire size for the inverter. I would recomend at least an eight guage wire directly fused and hooked directly to the battery. Of course like with all things the bigger the wire the better the flow of electricity.
If it is not one of those things stop into a truck stop electronics shop and have the person diagnose it.
Hope that helps.

At 12 volts DC it will pull 125 amps at full load of 1500 Watts.This requires at least #2 copper AWG

SOURCE: have several non working inverters
I have had this happen a few times.
Sadly replacement is the Best option.
Repairs can be %75 the cost of a new one.
The best invert we have been using is a Pure Sine 1500 watt inverter.
Sad news but hope this tip helps.

SOURCE: green and red light are blinking on roadpro 300 power inverter
if the inverter is working and the fan is just starting and stopping the fan must be bad, but if it is not supplying power the inverter control is bad
SOURCE: my inverter is Roadpro 1500 but cannot power 700W microwave
How good is the connection to the battery? there are a lot of amps that have to flow fast and clamps just don't do it, lugged cables do!
