12V receptacle / plug.

Here is a real puzzler. I have a 12 V air pump that was my Dad's and dates from the mid 80's. The packaging was never opened! I plugged it into my 12V receptacle in my Toyota Corrola, turned it on, and started to inflate a swim toy. Worked great. Brought to the boat, plugged it in, and nothing. Plugged in cell charger. Works great. Plugged the pump in again, nothing. Moved the plug around and still nothing. Got home and plugged it into the Corolla... worked fine. Plugged into wife's Trailblazer and it works fine.
Took it back down to tbe boat today, and same problem...did not work.

Any thoughts as to why???
