What is the reason for no response when plugging into the USB port in the LaCrosse armrest box?

The reason for no response when plugging into the USB port in the LaCrosse armrest box is that the connection between the USB port and the motherboard is broken. The USB port is a type of vehicle transmission line, known for its fast transmission speed and flexible connection, serving as a universal interface for USB devices such as flash drives and MP3 players. Taking the 2021 LaCrosse as an example, it belongs to the mid-size car category, with body dimensions of: length 5026mm, width 1866mm, height 1459mm, and a wheelbase of 2905mm. The 2021 LaCrosse is equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 169PS, maximum power of 124kW, maximum torque of 250Nm, and is paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission.
As an experienced driver who has owned several cars, I think there are quite a few reasons why the USB port in the LaCrosse's center console might not be working. The most common issue is a faulty port itself, possibly due to frequent plugging/unplugging or dust accumulation causing oxidation and poor contact. First, try plugging in other USB devices or cables—if they don't work either, it could be a fuse issue. Check the vehicle's fuse box for the USB-related fuse to see if it's blown for circuit protection. Additionally, wiring faults might occur, such as loose connectors or short circuits, especially if they get dislodged when the car is bumpy. On the software side, the infotainment system sometimes crashes and may need a vehicle restart or system update. For maintenance, remember to clean the port regularly with a dry cloth to prevent minor issues from worsening. If you find a problem, don’t force it—get it repaired promptly to avoid affecting in-car charging or navigation. Safety comes first when driving, so pay attention to electronic component details.
I've also experienced USB port failures, with the main issue likely lying in the vehicle's electrical circuits and systems. A USB port losing power is often caused by a blown fuse. The LaCrosse's fuse box is usually located under the driver's seat, and the manual contains a location diagram for reference. If switching devices doesn't work, check for aging or short-circuited wiring, especially connection instability caused by vehicle vibrations. Electronic systems, such as software errors in the central control screen, can also lead to USB signal interruptions. Try turning off the engine for a few minutes and then restarting. For prevention, avoid letting moisture or debris enter the port, and clean it with compressed air. DIY repairs for hardware damage carry high risks; it's better to visit a professional auto repair shop to test voltage or replace parts with proper tools. Regular maintenance is key to preventing subsequent circuit issues.
