If the ashtray light is not working it will not drain the battery.
The switch is not a switch. It is a light for the ashtray itself. It will only be on when the car has the headlights or running lights on.
Dont use the fuel filler as a ashtray
First the car has to be in drive in order for the ashtray to open fully. Once open, pull it straight up and out by the wood trim. When the car is in park it will not work as the shifter is in the way.
There is 2 indent on the side of the ashtray,just put ur fingers in them and may need to wiggle it a bit but it will come straight out.
To remove the ashtray on a Toyota Avensis, first, ensure the vehicle is parked and the ignition is off. Gently pull the ashtray out of its slot; it may have a slight resistance due to clips. If necessary, press down on any release tab or lever located on the sides of the ashtray to ease its removal. Once it's free, you can clean or replace it as needed.
To open the ashtray on a 2002 Thunderbird, simply press the small button located on the front of the ashtray door. This will release the latch, allowing the door to swing open. If the ashtray is stuck, check for any obstructions or debris that may be blocking it. If necessary, gently tug on the door while pressing the button to help it open.
If you're talking about how the ashtray won't close, as was the case with my car, it's a really easy fix. Inside the ashtray there is a blue 'L' shaped hook that hangs on a hinge. When the ashtray closes, the 'hook' on the 'L' grabs the ashtray so it won't open again. Then, when you push on the ashtray, the hook is dislodged and it is allowed to open. In my car (a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee) the ashtray wouldn't close because the hook came off. All you have to do is pull the ashtray all the way down (gently so it won't break), find the hook, and insert the hook back into the position (it is an obvious spot on the right side of the opening.) Ensure that it is allowed to slide up and down. If you've done this correctly, you should be able to close the ashtray again.
People will use a smokeless ashtray to reduce the amount of smoke their cigarette is putting out if they are in a confined space like a car. These quickly put out the cigarette instead of letting it natural burn out.
there is no ashtray
To change the ashtray light bulb in a 1999 Volvo S70, first remove the ashtray from its compartment by pulling it out. Then, locate the small bulb holder at the bottom of the ashtray; twist it counterclockwise to remove it. Replace the old bulb with a new one of the same type, reinsert the bulb holder, and slide the ashtray back into its compartment. Ensure the new bulb is functioning by turning on the car's interior lights.
