Answer
Ok, you will need to use a small drill bit to gently route around and unplug it. Use copious amounts of brake cleaner and compressed air. Always use safety glasses. If that will not work it loose, you can hook it up in reverse to try and blow whatever is in it out. If in that extreme case you cannot get it to work, I will need you to e-mail me a picture of it and I might be able to locate one for you.
Due to the huge amount of junk mail I am receiving from the EU, I now suspect that some of the people I have advised have used my e-mail address for spamming lists. So I must have you send me a new question with the private box checked off when you compose it and send me your e-mail so I can make contact without further compromising my once clean e-mail.
