I found a fully plastic isolated power outlet at the local boat parts store.B 
I know that radio shack also used to have a fully plastic one, but was really
crappy.B  They exist, but you still have the problem that whatever device you
plug into it may have a metal case that is connected to the - side of the
input.B  If that metal case contacts the chassis of the car (or any metal in
car), you could have a serious problem.B

receptacle.....

reverse
the lead.. + is always going to be the ground. B The main cable off the +

terminal on the battery is going to ground and when u connect a new wire ( one
from your cig lighter) to the terminal it is still going to be + grounded.
Been there tried that. Only work around I have seen is a + grd to neg grd
converter. B I opted to convert to neg grd.
