Replacing the cigarette socket

[n2knee]

Happy new year folks. How difficult is it to replace a cigarette socket? I'ts a 1999 Sport. I purchased a portable navi and there is no power coming from the cigarette socket. The cigarette lighter works fine for some reason. I am thinking the tip is not connecting properly due to rust that built up inside the socket. Thank you!

i was wondering the same thing bc my cigarette port is burnt up, power going to it no power coming out. i think its fried. would like to know how hard it is to get the assembly out. i know on the first gens, in the ash tray, it was a royal pain to get the assembly out, and when i did it was twisted and mangled.

try cleaning it first. pull the fuse and use a small wire brush

that's what i did. i scraped the darn thing off using my mother's nail pusher sure enough it can now power my portable navigation

word of advice. don't do it at night. it's really difficult to see what your cleaning even with a flashlight.
