How to Remove the Cigarette Lighter?
2 Answers
Car cigarette lighters can pop out with a single press. If not heated, they can be directly removed. After removal, they can be used for lighting cigarettes or the socket can be utilized for chargers or other devices. Below is relevant information about cigarette lighters: 1. Using the cigarette lighter: Be cautious when removing the lighter if it's heating. If slightly heated, you can press it to pop out. When fully heated, it will automatically pop out slightly and stop heating, allowing direct removal. When handling the lighter, hold the top cover to avoid burning yourself on the lower part. 2. Avoid leaving the socket empty: After removing the cigarette lighter, it's best not to leave the socket empty. You can either reinsert the lighter or place other charging devices there, as the socket contains positive and negative terminals. Avoid dropping objects inside as they may be hard to remove, and conductive items could cause short circuits. Many people use cigarette lighters as chargers, so ensure you use high-quality ones, pay attention to current specifications, and prevent electric leakage or charging failures.
I've been driving for so many years, pulling out the cigarette lighter is a piece of cake. First, make sure the car is started or the key is turned to the ACC position to power on the vehicle. Then gently press the cigarette lighter head in, wait a few seconds until you hear a 'click' sound, and it will pop out slightly on its own. You can then gently pull it out to complete the process. If it gets stuck occasionally, don't yank it forcefully—try wiggling it slightly left and right or pressing it back in to let it cool before trying again. The cigarette lighter socket tends to accumulate dust and rust, which can cause it to stick, so regularly wipe the socket with a cloth or alcohol swab to prevent issues. Modern cigarette lighters aren't just for lighting cigarettes—they can also power USB chargers for your phone, so avoid pulling them out carelessly to prevent short circuits. Remember these steps for safety and convenience, so you won't need to visit a mechanic every time.
