Chrysler Repair: how to replace the cigarette lighter, snap ring pliers, cigarette lighter


Question
hi, I have a 2005 jeep liberty how do I replace the cigarette lighter

Answer
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
Pull the cigar lighter knob and element out of the cigar lighter receptacle base, or unsnap the protective cap from the power outlet receptacle base (Cigar Lighter and Power Outlet).
Look inside the cigar lighter or power outlet receptacle base and note the position of the rectangular retaining bosses of the mount that secures the receptacle base to the instrument panel (Cigar Lighter and Power Outlet Remove/Install).
Insert a pair of external snap ring pliers into the cigar lighter or power outlet receptacle base and engage the tips of the pliers with the retaining bosses of the mount.
Squeeze the pliers to disengage the mount retaining bosses from the receptacle base and, using a gentle rocking motion, pull the pliers and the receptacle base out of the mount.
Pull the receptacle base away from the instrument panel far enough to access the instrument panel wire harness connector.
Disconnect the instrument panel wire harness connector from the cigar lighter or power outlet receptacle base connector receptacle.
Remove the cigar lighter or power outlet mount from the instrument panel.
