You have to remove the entire lighter assembly. There is a nut at the bottom and there will be what seems to be a burnt fuse. I believe this is a thermal fuse but very lightly rated since it goes so easily. i pried the four crimped connections ane replaced it with a radioshack thermal 10 amp 144 deg C thermal fuse, works like a charm now, but the radioshack fuse is kinda big and you have to do some creative bending to get it to fit.
There are several links on the forum to remove the panel and cig lighter.

I believe the fuse layout is on the small pull out box on the side of the steering wheel. You have to get right down there to be able to see it though, should tell you what fuse you need to change, either way if you disconnect the battery and pull all the 15z out you should be able to find it.
