I've tried to get mine out too but can't seem to figure it out!

Is the second fuse for the rear lighter? I only ask becasue mine does exactly the same. Fortunately, that one is much easier to take out, once out the fuse didn't blow. A quick continuity test on the lighter socket and it was shorting somehow.

Have a read of this, a few pages down talks about the ashtray trim: http://www.audipages.com/Tech_Articl...im_removal.pdf

I have the same issue - my front cig lighter doesn't work either.

I assumed that it was a pain in the ass to fix, so iv just not bothered.
