Help! remove lighter and wiper speed buttons from upper console

[juankimalo]

Hello

I did several searches but I could't find the way to remove the lower conectors from the horse shoe (upper center console)

I'm going to upgrade it with a Carbon Fiber one and I removed the switches, but I can't remove the window wiper speed wheel and the lighter

Thanks in advance

Juan:

Here are a couple of approaches for removing the lighter that have been posted before, although I don't recall the sources:

There is a black clip above your lamp holder(green) for the ring.You will need to pop it out.

You must first remove the black clip and also the green piece.

Once your green piece is removed whole cylinder should slide out forward. I believe there are 2 tabs you will need to pry and hold.

Hold down the top (clear plastic) tab and push forward, the top half lighter assembly comes out first then the bottom tab will come loose. Easier than it looks.

Another Approach:

-Hold the trim ring part while twisting the cigarette lighter cylinder to unhook the tabs

-Push the cigarette lighter cylinder out the front of the trim ring (it's pretty tight so you have to push hard)

-You can now pull the trim ring out (have to tilt it a little because the light is attached to it)

Regards, Maurice.
