NON-Smoking install

[her_986]

Would like to know how to remove the horse shoe shaped plastic dash cover. Doing a NON-Smoking install. The ash tray delete is done and now trying to do the lighter. For some reason the NON-Smoking lighter came with its own socket and is the reason I need to remove the dash cover. I tried to use the plug from the NON-Smoking socket, but it would not fit the current lighter socket. Did I get the wrong NON-Smoking plug??? By the way this is my second attempt to post this question, so I would like to apologizes in advance if this becomes a duplicate question…

TIA

If your car is MY02 or newer then the upper console comes off in one piece. Use a butter knife or something that will not scratch on the sides.

The lighter has a little lock on it

The plug from the non-smoker fits my 'smoker' socket. Jeff

Jeff and Loren –

Thank you both for your prompt answers. Loren, it nice to have X-Ray eyes and be able to see a hidden fastener and save a piece of plastic from being broken. Jeff, perhaps I was too intimated by the NON-Smoking socket to believe that the plug would fit the current socket, I will reinvestigate this again with an eye on the fact that it does fit and perhaps save the life of piece of plastic and the wrath of HER_986!!! Just for clarification, this is on a MY03 Base 5-Speed. Information, I regrettably forgot of add.

Thanks again,

Mario
