    Default Flaky Cigarette Lighter Socket + Upcoming Road Trip =

    need a new one? I'm going to plug in an inverter to power my laptop so the kids can watch movies while we drive to the beach. Previous attempts to power a cell phone or other device from the lighter socket required constant fiddling to keep the circuit closed and functioning. Or maybe it's as simple as bending some metal?

    If I have to replace the socket, RealOEM says it's part # 61 34 1 378 716; BMA and BavAuto don't have em, according to the websites. Can anyone help?

    Thanks in advance.
