So in the front the cigarette lighter is stuck. Anyone had this happen and been able to get it loose?. When I try to pull it out it seems to be sliding the casing of the cigarette lighter out as well. I believe the middle ridge is supposed to stay flush with the back... Thought I’d ask before I go prying too hard and break something

 

Yes the lighter socket is comping apart.

Did you try the heat detent [push the lcenter piece so that coil heats up and then it pops back for a gentle pulll all the way.

If not try it once and if that fails, disconnect the electrical plug from behind before doing any tugging. You may like to rotate the center piece and that might test the shell and try pushing in. This might re-align the locking tab.

Worst case, disassemble from behind and peplace the plug either with new or used.
