just went to lunch, and it was working normally. To others that have had this problem...How intermitent was it?

I haven't had the problem... but isn't the problem caused by a fault in the A/C adapter socket on the empeg -- where the spring weakens or gets bent and the empeg then thinks the A/C power adapter is still plugged in even when it isn't?

In that case, if it's working normally in the car now, it should continue to do so until the next time you plug the A/C adapter into it.

On average, I plug/unplug my A/C adapter 5 times per week, since last August, and have had no problems. However, I am very careful when I do this, making sure to slide the plug in straight without side-loading the receptacle, as I know other people have had problems with the empeg's A/C socket.
