For some reason it's not deep enough for any kind of charger (cell, laptop, anything) to fit all the way in. I'm going on a 15 hour road trip in 2 days and would definitely love to have it working! It was never a huge deal before. Any ideas what could be wrong? I don't think it's jammed, but I've never seen a car with such a shallow power supply.

this is my cigarrette lighter- sorry, should've specified. It's the only outlet I have in my car.

look for another socket many cars have two one in the ashtray one in the dash or console some time rear ashtray cigarette lighter. Most power cigarette lighters go in two inches. Is there something in that socket a broken off cell phone plug?

I'm guessing this is a "Classic" car. Late 60s' or early seventies.

Push it in harder?? Not really sure what your question is. Usually new plug ins are rather difficult get into the socket.

Go to the auto parts store and ask if they have an adapter.
