Removing a Cigarette Lighter Socket is a relatively simple task that can be completed in a few minutes with the right tools. The cigarette lighter socket is a 12-volt power outlet that is commonly found in vehicles and boats. It is used to power a variety of devices, such as cell phones, GPS units, and portable DVD players.
There are two main types of cigarette lighter sockets: flush-mount and surface-mount. Flush-mount sockets are recessed into the dashboard or console, while surface-mount sockets are mounted on the surface of the dashboard or console. To remove a flush-mount socket, you will need to remove the trim ring that surrounds the socket. This can be done by gently prying it off with a flathead screwdriver. Once the trim ring is removed, you will have access to the screws that hold the socket in place. Remove the screws and pull the socket out of the dashboard.
