I was wondering if anyone had any instructions or diagram to replace the cigarette lighter located on the floor (console) in between the two front seats? The inside of the lighter fixer is broken. I believe I need to take out the entire center storage box, but I'm not sure.

Thanks!

From memory if you want to replace the whole thing, then yes you will need to remove it and put a new unit in. I'm trying to recall whether the surround can be removed without having to remove the sliding centre console. Then it's simply a matter of unplugging the old one, detaching it (not sure how) and replacing it all.

Agreed. Unfortunately, I don't see a way to replace just the surround. Please let me know if you remember.

Would you happen to have any instructions/pictures on where the bolts/screws are to remove the entire unit to get to the back of the lighter assembly?

Believe item #10 in the diagram is what you are looking for in the way of a part:

Not sure of the instructions on how to get to it.

I will see what I have at home on my PC to show this and post up tonight (I am in Australia, so time difference )

You have to take out the center console. It is easy...Just move the seats forward and the console back, pop off the cover on each side of the console, remove the three bolts on each side, unhook the cable on the passenger side and the whole thing lifts off.
