Default 2005 1500 cigar lighter socket

How do I remove the cigar lighter socket. The lighter is fine but there is no voltage measured in the socket. I have checked the fuse. It is OK.

do remember there is one screw holding it on before you go pulling it off. the screw is located by the bag holder on the passenger side.

I got the socket out just by turning it and pulling out. There are just a couple of tabs that have to line up with slots on either side of the lighter socket. Had to do it when I installed my cutout switch in the socket.
