- Step 2 – Clean connector: Remove any visible debris from the connector with a dry brush.
- Step 3 – Compare fit: If possible, test another J1772 connector in the same vehicle to confirm whether the issue is with the charger handle or the vehicle inlet.
- Step 4 – Replace handle: If the handle is visibly damaged or remains difficult to use, replace the cable and handle assembly.
