It's strange if the plug doesn't fit the cigarette lighter socket. They can be a tight fit so if you find it a little big for the socket try putting pressure on it to push it in. If it absolutely won't fit you can buy cigarette lighter plugs in car accessory shops. If you can get one that does fit you can cut the one that's on the lead off and fit the new one.
If you cannot get any plug to fit you can get the lead wired permanently into the car. Any garage would be able to do it for you.
I had the same problem so I replaced my 152 with a spare unit. It did the same thing. This led to believe it was the cable. I removed a few kinks and a bend at the unit; and it seems to be fine. Seems too simple and the bends were not that severe, but it is working (for now).
I just hardwired it into my vehicle, I use it for both road and water, I goggled garmin 276c wiring and I located the schematic. Unfortunately I cannot locate my printed hardcopy now. Give it a shot.
