Removing Cigar lighter and Ingition Switch HELP~!

Hey I got an A/C dash (out of the truck) and the ignition switch seems to have a key busted off in it and I can not seem to get the Cigar lighter off. Any tips to getting these items off. Thanks~!

I assume the key is in the ignition switch. Try to jam something in the key hole so you can turn the cylinder to the ACC position. There should be a small hole in the cover. Push a small diameter wire in there and you should be able to pull the cylinder out.

I find on the cigar lighter, the easiest way is to stick your thumb in it, then reach under the dash and twist the back off.
