I tried that, but then blew a fuse messing with a screwdriver not knowing what I was doing. Replaced it and fixed my lighter from the outside with a wooden stick to bend the inside tabs to hold the lighter in properly. I was going to replace the lighter receptacle which I thought was faulty. It just needed a tweak. Thanks for the tips on removal. Might come in handy in the future, now that I know how to. incidentally my alarm system is hooked up to the same fuse and boy did I discover that in a hurry. Without a fuse the alarm goes off ASAP if you try to lock or unlock the vehicle. Good theft prevention but scared the h%&**$#^& out of me. William
