Just Google the part or go to the Garmin site and look up the part. You will
get many hits on Google.

You didn't post the model or if you have a straight power cord. If you have
a power cord that has the traffic or other receiver in it you should call
Garmin to try and get it replaced.

ps56k reposted the original post, because it was inserted into a completely
unrelated thread. I strongly doubt that the OP - who calls himself MR -
knows about this new thread.

If you want to reply to him or inform him of this thread, click on the
reference in ps56k's post to go to MR's original post.
