USB Cable stuck in USB outlet

Zoltan · 08-12-2015, 06:58 PM

Has anyone had the issue with a USB cable getting stuck in USB outlet in the center armrest cubby? I'm about to sell the car but need to get this out unless the new owner has a iPhone I'm a bit screwed.

I've pulled as hard as I'm willing to. Wiggled it, waited for it be really cold out. Everything! Any tips would be appreciated.

Get a can of air and hold it upside down then spray it. That might help or just pull really hard and say f it. I'm selling the car anyway.

Never run into a stuck USB plug but it sounds like something has broken/bent and gotten wedged with the jack. If Masterbeatty's freeze-it idea doesn't work, make sure you can get a replacement jack and then yank on the plug until it comes out or the jack breaks.
