Cigar Lighter Receptacle or 12-Volt Accessory Power Receptacle Replacement
Tools Required
J 42059 Cigar Lighter Socket Remover
Removal Procedure
1. Remove the auxiliary power outlet fuse from the fuse block.
2. Remove the receptacle:
1. Look into the receptacle. There are two 3 mm (0.11 in) tab windows 12 mm (0.47 in) from the front of the receptacle. The J 42059 pushes the
plastic latches from these tab windows and the receptacle can be pulled straight out.
2. Place one side of the "T" portion of the J 42059 into the tab window. The J 42059 will not fit straight into the receptacle. Angle the J 42059
slightly for insertion into the receptacle.
3. Insert the other side of the "T" into the opposite tab window.
You must move the J 42059 handle toward horizontal to engage the other tab window.
4. Use the J 42059 to pull the receptacle straight out.
3. If J 42059 tool fails to release the lighter socket from the retainer, perform the following alternate method:
1. Insert a small grinding tool with a cutoff wheel into the socket.
2. Remove the plastic latches in the 3 mm (0.11 in) square windows.
3. Use the J 42059 as directed above to remove the socket.
