Possible Causes

Debris or damage in vehicle inlet, Deformed Type 2 plug nose, Misaligned locking pin, Ice or dirt buildup on pins

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Do not force the connector; you may damage both the charger and vehicle.

  • Inspect both sides: Examine the Webasto plug and the vehicle inlet for foreign objects, bent pins, or deformation.
  • Clean gently: Remove loose dirt with a soft, dry brush. Do not use metal tools or liquids.
  • Check alignment: Ensure the plug is oriented correctly and pushed straight in, not at an angle.
  • Replace damaged plug: If the plug housing or pins are visibly deformed, replace the entire Webasto cable assembly.
