In this short video we'll learn how to remove an accessory power outlet (aka cigarette lighter socket or auxiliary power outlet) from its retaining bezel on the dash. This is best accomplished with a special tool for GM vehicles designed for this purpose, after you pull the fuse for the outlet or disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent a short circuit from inserting the tool of course. The vehicle illustrated is a 2007 Pontiac G5 sedan, but the tool and procedure to remove the accessory power outlet / cigarette lighter socket / auxiliary power outlet applies to most every General motors car van or truck from 1996 thru today. So whether you have a Chevrolet, GMC, Pontiac, Buick, Cadillac, Oldsmobile, or Saturn car truck or van this video should help you perform this DIY repair and get your cigarette lighter socket replaced / accessory power outlet replaced / auxiliary power outlet replaced.
