Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Stalwart Electric Car Blanket, please refer to the following common solutions:
- Blanket Not Heating:
- Ensure the 12-volt plug is fully and securely inserted into the vehicle's cigarette lighter socket.
- Check if the vehicle's cigarette lighter socket is receiving power. Test with another device if possible.
- Verify that the blanket's controller is turned on and a heat setting is selected.
- Check your vehicle's fuse box for a blown fuse related to the cigarette lighter socket. Some users have reported that this type of blanket can occasionally blow 15A or 20A fuses. If a fuse is blown, replace it with one of the correct amperage.
- Insufficient Heat:
- Ensure the highest heat setting is selected on the controller.
- The blanket is designed to provide supplemental warmth. For optimal heat retention, consider using it layered with another blanket or covering yourself fully.
- Blanket Shuts Off Unexpectedly:
- The blanket has an automatic shut-off feature. If a timer setting (30, 45, or 60 minutes) was selected, it will turn off after that duration. If no timer was set, it will automatically shut off after 45 minutes.
- If the blanket is overheating, the safety auto shut-off may activate. Allow it to cool down before attempting to use it again.
