What is the reason why the car charger head cannot be pulled out?
2 Answers
The charger has a small clip. When pulling it out, firmly pinch the clip with your fingers and squeeze it inward to release the inner latch, allowing the charger to be removed. Below are some relevant precautions regarding car chargers: 1. Cleaning the car charger: When the car charger becomes dirty after prolonged use, never clean it with harsh chemicals, detergents, or strong cleaning agents. Simply wipe it with a damp cloth and let it dry to avoid damage. 2. Proper storage: Do not throw, drop, knock, or shake the car charger during use. Especially in summer when the car is exposed to the sun and the interior temperature exceeds 45 degrees Celsius, avoid using the charger temporarily, as this can severely damage the internal circuit board of the car charger.
The other day I encountered the embarrassing situation of not being able to pull out the car charger head. As someone who drives frequently, I've been thinking about the possible reasons. It might be due to material aging and expansion of the charger head, especially in hot weather when plastic deformation makes it stick more stubbornly. Or perhaps dust or small debris got into the socket, blocking the gap and preventing removal. When trying to remove it, I accidentally applied too much force and bent the internal metal contacts - something I now deeply regret. My suggestion is to first turn off the vehicle's power, then try gently wiggling the charger. If that doesn't work, carefully use a plastic pry tool for assistance. Regular maintenance is crucial - I routinely clean the cigarette lighter socket with cotton swabs to prevent dust buildup. If all else fails, it's safer to directly seek help from a repair shop rather than forcing it and risking damage to the vehicle's electrical system.
