cigarette lighter stuck

1. Remove the fuse (left side in front of driver's door)
2. Hold socket down, pry up lighter.
The whole assembly comes out fairly easily, though it can be tough to get back together if you have the OEM auxillary gauges.
If it were me, I'd just remove the whole assembly and extract the lighter while outside the vehicle. Then figure out how it got stuck!

It's just a press fit, so likely the wires are the resistance you're finding.
I don't have a DIY, but there are screws underneath the cupholders and at least one underneath the power mirror switch panel. With those out, IIRC the panel will just lift up and the wires can be accessed underneath.
Note that this is for an '04. I can't recall if the '05+ front console is different.

I'm assuming the extra power outlet located in the boot is for newer models? I have an 03 MCS and have never seen the extra outlet.
I'll work on this tomorrow and get back.
Thanks

So did you get a new lighter or manage to fix it?
