Unplug All The Charger/Converters

Recently saw a video from a good mechanic.

On the vehicle of newer cars n trucks a lot of things are electronic and even wireless (like the key)vehicle.

Issues can occur. Electronic noise can interfere with the vehicle computer system.

Sometimes it is the little DC plug phone chargers and cheap-o inverters even that can wreak havoc on the electrical system. It is usually the very cheap/low-priced phone charger plugs (in the $1-$5 range), not the high quality $25 ones.

If you have issues, if you cannot start the vehicle, then just unplug all those lil rascals and try again.

Better yet, he concluded, is to use a nice inverter wired directly to the battery and power your devices off that since it can produce clean power. An inverter turns DC power to AC (household) power, but should nowadays have DC USB outlets in it also.

No discussion necessary as this is not an opinion piece, just information to keep in your noggin in case you have vehicle issues and a lot plugged in

If no discussion is necessary why post it on an open forum?

Having supported doctoral students doing research for then Daimler Chrysler, they test those vehicle computer systems pretty strenuously. Those tests exposed the computer and other electronic systems like the various data bus to a wide variety of interference, RFI, EMI, thermal and mechanical stress, you name it.

Ok so maybe it's not impossible for a small after market accessory to cause a malfunction, it's highly unlikely.
