Possible Causes

Mechanical jam in vehicle inlet lock pin, Misalignment of J+ Booster connector latch, Software glitch in vehicle lock control, Slight deformation of connector housing

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Do not forcefully pull the connector; this can damage both charger and vehicle.

  • Ensure charging is stopped: End the session via the vehicle and wait for any lock/unlock sounds.
  • Use vehicle unlock function: Many vehicles have a specific button or menu to release the charging cable; use it.
  • Gently support connector: While the vehicle attempts to unlock, gently support (but do not pull hard on) the connector to relieve tension.
  • Check for ice or debris: In cold or dirty environments, inspect around the inlet for ice or dirt and gently clear it.
  • If still stuck: Consult the vehicle manual for emergency release procedures. The J+ Booster connector itself rarely causes lock faults but should be inspected for deformation once removed.
