One day it popped out of the socket and I had to remove the trim piece so that I could secure the darn thing back down. After that it doesn't work anymore. It only has two wire fitting connected to it.
What could have gone wrong? I tried messing with it again today for like 30 minutes with no progress.
I drive a '94 Eagle Talon. I hate these annoying little problems. It bugs the crap out of me especially since my HTC EVO 4g phone uses a lot of power.

The socket itself is likely bad since it happened after it popped out. You can verify that by checking power and ground to the lighter socket. Or just swap in a new/different lighter socket. You might be able to fix the bad one.
