My cigarette lighter is not working (not sure why yet, but don't think I have blown fuse,) therefor I don't have power for my phone or dash cam.
I have not crawled under the dash yet to look for any broken wire connections. Are there any tricks to removing it? --TIA |

Don't be afraid to slightly bend a few of those fingers on one side. They bend back easily. Having said that I wouldn't bother reinstalling that lighter case as it is too large for modern day device charges to sit in snugly. I made that mistake. Unless you smoke you don't need a cigarette lighter. Just a charger. I used one that has 2 charging ports. IIRC, one is .5 amp and the other is 1.5 amp. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
