What to Do If the Cigarette Lighter Doesn't Pop Back?

[DeKaylee]

Solutions for a cigarette lighter that doesn't pop back: The lighter socket may be damaged. Inside the socket, there are contact points. If these points become deformed, it can lead to poor contact of the cigarette lighter. Simply replacing the cigarette lighter socket can solve the issue. Prolonged use may cause oxidation of the lighter's electrodes, which can also result in poor contact. When using the cigarette lighter socket, it's important to note: If the car is not driven for an extended period, it's best to disconnect the power supply of the dash cam. Some car models have cigarette lighter sockets that remain powered even when the key is not inserted. Some vehicles are equipped with both a cigarette lighter socket and a 12V power outlet. These two interfaces are different; the 12V power outlet cannot be used to heat a cigarette lighter.
