Want this question answered?
In my 96 Avalon there is a screw in the outside bottom of the ashtray cover that when removed exposes the lighter. I did not discover it until after I had forced the entire ashtray past the stops by pushing on the stops with a screwdriver. I knew that was not correct, but it did work just fine and I was able to reattach my lighter which had come loose and kept blowing fuses.
pull out ashtray and lighter- realys are behind ashtray
The second storage unit below the stereo should open to be an ashtray and durrie lighter
there is no cigarette lighter in the 96-00 civics. it should be obvious by the lack of an ashtray as well......
Carefully
In
There is a tab in the ashtray that has to be held down with a long flathead screwdriver. This tab holds the ashtray in so the tab has to be forced down with a lever to get the ashtray out. Then disconnect the cigarette lighter and you will see the screws that hold the radio in place.
have replaced fuse for lighter and still doesn't work
Yes it does just below the radio center panel .
