Re: cigarette lighter

When I bought the Civic it had a cigarette lighter stuck in the socket as well. I sprayed a little penetrating oil at the edge and tried to hold the ring of the socket so that I did not rip the socket out of the dash as I pulled. It came out without much trouble.

Re: cigarette lighter

I hope you're not just sticking the lighter into the power outlet... that outlet is NOT designed to handle a cigarette lighter.
