Default Car Dock Won't Charge the Phone

I bought the car dock about a month or so ago, didn't use it to much. However recently when I plug the phone it, it goes into car-dock mode but the cord is providing no charge at all. I've tried it off the USB port on my head unit, and from 2 different 12v USB cig adapters, all three of which previously provided a charge when using the dock. Since I have noticed this behavior, my battery life has also gone way downhill again, any thoughts? Car dock just go bad? I can still plug the jack into the aux. input and play music through my car stereo, just no charge getting to the phone.

Sounds like the fuse in the dock is dead. I'd get a refund.
