What Causes the Cigarette Lighter Socket to Lose Power?
1 Answers
The cigarette lighter socket loses power because the fuse is blown. Precautions for using the cigarette lighter are as follows: 1. Avoid foreign objects entering the cigarette lighter hole. Regularly check if any foreign objects have been inserted into the cigarette lighter to prevent damage. If the vehicle has a protective cover for the cigarette lighter, make sure to close it promptly. Some high-end vehicles also have spare cigarette lighter sockets in the trunk, so be mindful of any foreign objects entering them as well. 2. Avoid using electrical appliances with excessively high power on the cigarette lighter. The general maximum power capacity of a cigarette lighter is 120W. Exceeding this value can easily cause the cigarette lighter to overload, leading to various hazards such as burning out the cigarette lighter. Therefore, when using external devices, always check the maximum power rating and try to use devices with less than 120W. 3. Properly insert and remove the cigarette lighter plug. The cigarette lighter has a separate safety device. The correct method is to insert and remove it vertically; do not pull it out while wiggling. Frequent wiggling can loosen the cigarette lighter fuse and cause a short circuit, which can easily burn out the fuse and external devices.
