How do you remove the cigarette lighter from a 2001 corolla?

Answer 1

DISCONNECT POWER WIRE BEFORE TAMPERING WITH ANY ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS! You have to pull the "face plate" from your A/C control panel. You just pull it off, really. Be careful not to snap anything or it wont look right put back in. After you pull of the face plate, you'll notice two things. 1: the cigarette lighter with both the power and ground wires. 2: A green light bulb. It's probably blown out by now haha. No need to replace it because you'll know when the cigarette lighters active (You can smell it!) You can do one of two things. Tap into the power source for things that use 12 volts. Or just leave it disconnected, but if you leave it disconnected you will lose power to the clock, and the secondary DC input just below the emergency brake. To remove the cigarette lighter, just carefully pry it out. That's all :] DISCONNECT POWER WIRE BEFORE TAMPERING WITH ANY ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS!
