I started driving and left it in that state (a blank display) and behold, the detector is on, but the display was not working. When I passed by the super market, I got the usual multiple bogey alerts from the doors, but NO lights at all!?
I then hooked up the detector to the cigarette lighter adaptor and it worked perfect (display came on and stayed on). I ripped the hardwire out and started again thinking it was just a poor ground. I ruled this out because I was grounding it to bare sheet metal (I scraped the paint away to make sure it was a good connection). I then checked the 12V+ with a multi-meter and is was reading 12.22V, which is just fine. I tried two different phone connectors (both the straight and curled one that came with it) and the same blank display appeared. The only thing I can think of is the direct-wire power adaptor is bad. Anyone else seen this before? Anyone else have any other ideas? Thanks for the insight!

You are probably hook it up to the optional display or something related to that. Check the wiring, Also do you have a pictures of where did you place the Radar, I could not decided so I haven't hardwire it yet.
