Car lighter got stuck in socket, spent a good amount of time stuck without "popping out" so it may have burnt something. I used pliers to pry it out and now the power wont work. Checked the fuses, and there is no visible blown one. How do I fix this problem? Will I have to take it to a mechanic or can I do it myself? I am too broke to be dealing with a potentially serious car repair.
