    GM2497623Courtesy of GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY
  1. Remove the auxiliary power outlet fuse from the fuse block.
  2. Remove the receptacle:
    1. Look into the receptacle(2). There are two 3 mm (0.11 in) tab windows 12 mm (0.47 in) from the front of the receptacle. The EL-42059  Cigar Lighter Socket Remover 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 EL-42059  Cigar Lighter Socket Remover into the tab window. The EL-42059  Cigar Lighter Socket Remover will not fit straight into the receptacle. Angle the slightly for insertion into the receptacle.
    3. Insert the other side of the "T" into the opposite tab window.

      You must move the EL-42059  Cigar Lighter Socket Remover handle toward horizontal to engage the other tab window.

    4. Use the EL-42059  Cigar Lighter Socket Remover to pull the receptacle straight out.
