        Same here. I was playing with the little cover thing, accidentally got it stuck, and the plastic handle started to melt off. Burnt the tips of my fingers trying to get it fixed.

          I learned the hard way that

          1. it still worked even if the car was off and

          2. even if you pop it out early, perhaps thinking it’s not working, it can still be hot enough to burn you even if it isn’t red hot like you normally see it.
