I had the spring loaded cover on the power socket snap in half . I don't like leaving it open. To easy for something to fall in coins etc. I went on line and looked on sewel cant find a picture of it and I don't want to confuse it with the rear 110 volt passenger port. I need to replace it . I also need to know if there is a simple way to remove it from the front. I don't want to start to have to pull the top of the console and start pulling the wood panels off. Last time I had the wood panels off the clips are in bad shape and I don't want to mess with them. I thought there was a way to remove the power socket by pulling on it. I don't want to stress it unless this is how you can remove it. Can some one advise 2004 gx470

I think the socket is called " Power Point " [ Its to the left of the seat heater switches ]

 

The cover OEM part number is: 8553560050C0

Sewell sells it but they don't show a diagram:
PNC: 85535B

Here's a eBay link to show it is the correct part and by the time you add $10 from Sewell the eBay seller is cheaper.

As far as removing it I'm not sure. I'd assume you'd have to remove the panel to remove it but don't quote me on that.

 

Thanks I ordered the part I will wait till I see it to get an idea how it comes apart and maybe I can just swap out the top portion since the part pictured only looks like the top with a short insert on the bottom. Maybe someone else has taken this apart and could chime in
