1952-59 Ford Cigarette lighter problems on my 54

Here's a weird one..

I have battery voltage at my cigarette lighter (As tested with a multimeter), but the damn thing won't power a test light or anything that I plug into it.

So I want to remove it to investigate, I remember hearing these had some sort of disc fuse attached to them, maybe since this was a 6V car originally something screwy is going on?

So... while we're at it.. I can't figure out how to remove the damn thing from the dash!

Thanks in advance...

 

The entire housing on the back is a nut.

 

Thanks Don,

I'll try that. I appreciate it!
