Yeah I've had 2 Jaycar 12VDC 10A ones not deliver 12V now. Usually it's somewhere between 11.8-11.9V but sometimes that's enough to stop things working.

These are the duds:

A cheaper option from Jaycar, and I've had two of these now (only replaced the first because I stepped on it and broke it!) is this:

uses a cigarette lighter port but it's been rock solid.

edit: about your extension cable though.. how long is it, and what else is connected? First thing to test before spending any money would be to see if you can connect your power supply to another socket and test if it works? Setup the mount indoors and test it out?
