Question

My Garmin street pilot C550 does not seem to charge in the car , any suggestions why?

Answer 1

Will it charge when connected to the computer or another power source?  If it charges everywhere else except the car, that would indicate a problem with the cigarette lighter or a problem with the car charging cable.  It could be a blown fuse for the cigarette lighter or in the car charging cable, or could be an electrical problem in the car.

Answer 2

I had a problem with my street pilot also. I called the company and they had me send it in and gave me a new one for free.

Answer 3

Rechargeable battery have limit life.  When they get old, they no longer hold a charge.

Contact Garmin and see if they have a battery service.

Good Luck...
