Does a cigarette lighter not retracting affect the car?

[Rich]

A cigarette lighter not retracting can affect the car. It may cause a short circuit, potentially damaging other electrical equipment by avoiding circuit shorts. There are three reasons why a cigarette lighter does not retract as follows: 1. The cigarette lighter is not powered. If the car cigarette lighter has not completed heating, the lighter will not pop out. 2. The cigarette lighter may have blown a fuse. If the car cigarette lighter cannot pop out, it may be due to a blown or burned-out fuse, requiring replacement of a new fuse. 3. The cigarette lighter socket spring is loose. Long-term use of inserting and ejecting the lighter can easily cause the spring to loosen. In this case, simply remove the lighter and check the spring.
