It could have something down in the hole. Get a mirror and a flashlight and look down in there to see what is going on.

we have tryed that and theres nothing down there at all but a plug that wont come out...it is like the socket is bottoming out and that is why it can't grip the plug....

OK I was wrong there was a little rock down there!! Now the problem being I asked my wife to help me out. We got the plug out and ran into a problem getting the wire setted with the little bolt!! She kept telling me it was not going in right I tried she tried and then a big problem hit!! The head sheared off the bolt!! Now I have to figure out how to get the body of the bolt out and get a new one in to fix the problem! What can I do short of taking it to the dealer and having them fix it! I am so mad right now I am seeing red!!
