I have that exact problem. The prior owner years ago apparently used it for smoking and the humidity and debris from the use caused the receptacle to corrode/rust and now it is intermittent when I use it. Turn and wiggle to get good connections which has led to a blown fuse twice. I tried to run down a replacement at OReilleys (not big enough, no trim ring and 2 wire vs 3). I tried at the dealer and they had the receptable without ring. Stumped at the moment...may have to salvage yard the part
