Removal of car cigarette lighter?
Vehicle is 1990 Buick Century (Limited), 3.3L V6.
The cigarette lighter does NOT work anymore. Fuse is fine, wires are intact.
I've removed the tray/lightbulb/groundwire (?) from the dash, but I CANNOT get the element (cylinder shaped device that 'heats' up the lighter) out of the tray. Short of pliers & a hammer, I've gotten nowhere. Really don't want to hit a junkyard while it's still winter. But I REALLY need the lighter socket to power my XM Radio. Please don't give me alternate options/sources (i.e. "cut this wire & that wire to make it work") for powering the XM Reciever. Thanks. Will post additonal details if I've left anything out.
there will be a clip at the back of the lighter(behind the dash)if you can get your hand under dash you can feel it
