TV question?

Ok, I got my tv to work. The tv works only when the battery of the car is on but, not when the car is running... When I turn on the car, my playstation doesn't let me play. Everything just blinks. But when the car is not running I can play the playstation. What is up with that? Anyone know what it can be? I am using a power inverter that plugs in the lighter... 95 volts....

Anyone install a power inverter through a lighter??? If so, is the positive the white wire in the center of the lighter??? I have a tester but, I don't want to cut the white wire to test it because it is too short.

what do you mean by 95 volts, you need at least 300 watt inverter, and i would hard wire it with a fuse and a goo chassis ground.

I think it's 95 watt inverter. Anyway, it works. Anyone know y the playstation and tv is blinking when the car is running? When I turn on the key so the battery is only running, everything works fine. Whats the deal?

that's good.. when the car is running, DRIVE ONLY.. u can't play ps2 while driving..

i think it's because of the watt of inverter.. get more bigger one.. i also have 700ww and have no problem w/ it..

I have the 700wat inverter but, the first time I tried to tap it in the lighter, I end up cutting off the end of the piece that connects to the lighter. So the only way I can get it to work now is if I tap it into something. That's why I was wondering if that white wire is a postive?
