Yes, a jammed cigarette lighter can cause battery drain if it remains in the "on" position, preventing the lighter from properly disconnecting. This continuous power draw can deplete the vehicle's battery over time, especially if the engine is off. Additionally, other components connected to the same circuit may also be affected, contributing to battery drain. It's advisable to address any issues with the lighter promptly to avoid battery problems.
