Looks like it is just bad luck.

Thats unreall... I mess around with my E795 power cord so much... and it hasn't given me any problems ever.

The problem is probably in the plastic modular connector where it plugs into the RD. That is easily replaced if you are using a flat cable and have a crimping tool.

I plug and unplug that on my V1 every time I go to work. I have to replace the modular connector about once per year because the plastic tab breaks. I make my cable a little bit longer to compensate for this.

Do they use modular connectors on both ends of the cord? If yes, have you tried swapping a regular flat phone cable for the BEL cable?

I assume you checked the fuse in the cig. lighter plug.

Yes I did check the fuse for the cigar lighter plug. I have also used my voltmeter to check the voltage of the different trucks that my rd goes in. I will have to keep an eye on all of these things.

Hey proud,
My smart cord failed on friday! There is a non replaceable fuse in the smart cord. I called belscort and theyare sending a free replacement. I bought the ext. warranty when I got the X50 so it was covered. Good customer service from belscort as well!
