However, DON'T do as I did....I thought mine wasn't working, (it also was dirty), and at the time needed it for a CD to cassette adapter (ugh! Glad those days are over..)...it looked like in the bottom of the lighter was a penny, so in my wisdom I reached in with a pair of very long, but very METAL, tweezers.....QUITE the shock I got off of that muthafukka. It turned out there WASN'T anything in the bottom of the lighter housing......

mine popped the windows and interior light fuse every time i plugged a blacklite into it. so i unscrewed it and screwed back in one from a blazer (same fitting) and i never had a problem again. try replacing it as well as the fuse.
