Need to know step by step how to remove the old cigarette lighter socket and install a New one.

They actually make a tool that inserts into the socket to release and slide out to change it.

Can you tell me alittle more what is the tool called so i wouldnt have to take the console apart?

Amazon had the the tool I am talking about it goes in the hole and pushes in the two retaining prongs and helps you slide the old one out .they work really good. Dremel tool

Thank you that way i dont have to remove the console is that correct?

How do I remove/replace console cigarette lighter?

The first step is to remove the center console. Next, remove the power wire, ground wire, and light. The power wire and ground wires have a push clip to release them, and I had to wiggle it considerably to get it to come loose. The light is removed by turning it a quarter turn and pulling down gently.
Then, unscrew the ring located on the bottom of the lighter. After that, the assembly should be loose, and the socket and light ring can be removed from the top. The other pieces are removed from the bottom.

Yeah that's the type of tool the dealers use to remove them.

Thank you that is really a big help .

Your welcome glad to hear it please tell all your friends about us.

My cigarette outlets dont work in my 2007 impala. I have 3 outlets, one in the median and 2 in the dash under the radio. I've already checked my fuses. What could it be?

It is your AUX fuse 20 amp that is out. Here is a guide to help you check for power.
