Default burning hot cigarette lighter socket?????? HELP

All of a sudden my lighter socket started getting REAL hot and now it doesnt work?

It was working fine, then i noticed if i put my finger near it i could feel it was real warm and when i touched the metal it was pretty hot, then shortly after (like a week or so) it stopped working? It lights up still when my lights are on, but it wont put out power at all.....fuse?

please help thanks

Check the fuse. If the lighter socket is hot without anything plugged into it, check for a short.

As for your radar detector, look into hardwiring it. It's a lot neater plus you can have the detector turn on/off with the ignition.

Any pics/instructions/websites with more info on this? I really would like to do it this way but haven't found much on it...
