Anyone know how to take apart the ashtray? I took the ashtray out from the center console but need to take everything apart to get to the cigarette lighter.
Any pics will help, thanks.

 

nevermind i was able to take off the cover, anyone know how to take out the cigarette lighter unit itself?

 

does the wiring look okay at the bottom

 

I believe the outer housing (white arrow) actually screws on to the inner housing (scribbled in red) and sandwiches with the outer lip of the lighter up front.

 

oh and, you mention wiring. Is it not working? Make sure you check you fuses first

 

at first both my cigarette lighter wasn't working, the ashtray and glove compartment, then I changed the fuze and now only the ashtray one doesn't work

 

any thoughts?

 

maybe just a burnt out bulb man....i changed mine out. have you checked with a meter to see if your getting power to it?

 

ok how do you remove the unit itself?? is there a hidden screw or a special way of twisting it?

 

nope, just open the tray, get a firm grip on the lid with thumbs and fingers and give a snug pull. There are 4 clips on each corner that snap right in. Very simple

 

My bad MrJokester, I typed that up in a hurry, I meant, how do I remove the cigg lighter part? I got the astray out, very simply, done removed the small 4 screws, and took off whatever lil tabs I could put can't take out the cigg lighter part? I'm switching just that part from one that I bought from a junkyard, I would just install the whole unit that I bought, but mine is much cleaner,
Basicly I'm assuming my cigg plug in is Done with! This junkyard replacement one works! So it's not the fuse or anything

 

save yourself the trouble and get a new ashtray from the classifieds.

 

henry its REALLY simple though
