Hello All,

KP 2, fuse 1 blows which I've tracked down to the cigarette lighter. Probably due to sonny boy's incessant use as a power source for the GPS.

Anyway, with the cigarette lighter inserted into the socket (but not fully to energize the lighter), there must be a dead short as fuse 1 blows immediately. If I leave the cigarette lighter out of the socket altogether, the radio (also on fuse 1) works fine and the circuit stays live.

I pulled the center console back to have a look see and figured I'd remove the cigarette lighter socket to check it out (or replace it). Unfortunately, removing that little devil is not simple and I wonder if any of you have traveled this road before.

Or alternately, do any of you have any input to get that socket working?

Thanks,

Marty Wolfson

Edit: BTW, I tried a different lighter element from the other 93. Blew fuse 1 just like the other lighter element - so it's not the element.
