Default Cig Lighter ??

The cig lighter doesn't pop out or dosen't stay in when pused in. It does heat up if held (pushed) in. Is it the housing in the dash or the element housing? Any quick fixes? I not a smoker but am bored and decided to fix it.

Thanks.

its the housing in the dash, theres a clip at the bottom that you need to push inwards to grip the end of the element. do it with some hard plastic of something though or you'll short it out.

Radar Detectors are usually the culprit that bends those tabs to make the lighter no stay in hole.
