I believe there is a short in the lighter itself. This is lame but can anyone tell me the correct way to remove lighter without damaging the dashboard? I can kind of sort of get a grip with needle nose pliers but do not want to force it out. I vaguely recall getting other lighters out by rotating them counter clockwise but this one does not seem to be into turning.

I can replace the fuse and it will have power for a the first time I test it but as soon as I actually plug something in it blows. I have a strong feeling there are wires touching immediately behind the lighter so I need to get it out. It looks fine as far as what I can see inside right now with it installed.

Thanks very much,
Jim Lee
