I've been having an issue for the past month now on my Valentine 1. It works perfectly when I use the power from the lighter to power it on. However, when I use my hardwired connection, it either doesn't power or it powers on and constantly resets itself. I used all the hardware that the V1 detector came with to hardwire it. It worked perfect for about 10 months. I cut off the vampire clips and used another method to clamp the power wire with Valentines wiring. It seems to work half the time now. The fuse looks good as well. So I'm thinking it's either the direct wire adapter that is causing the issue or for some reason the wire getting the power to isn't getting constant voltage. My question for you V1 hardwired owners out there is: Have you ever experienced this issue? I was going to ask if Valentine warranties their accessories but it may be too late for me since I cut off some wire to test fit something else.
