04 Silverado Power Plug Removal

How do I remove my left power plug ( cigarette lighter from factory ) so I can install a rubber fill plug like is on the right power plug.

2004 Chevrolet Silverado Extended Cab with bucket seats and a center console.

Thanks

I can't help you there, but I too thought about doing the same on my '04. I thought it would look better.

it's threaded together. if you remove the wires, stick your thumb in the socket and twist the back piece it should come out easily.

My problem is getting access to the power plug. I have pulled out the cup holder and can not get to it that way and have not figured out if I can remove the radio and get to it that way yet.

The molded plastic component that has the 2 cubbies in it and the 2 plug outlets will pop straight out. Just put your fingers into one cubby and your thumb in the other and pull straight out until the 4 corner clips pop out.

Be careful not to yank too hard as the outlet wires will be strained.

Thank you very much...I knew the compartments had to come out one way or another. I owe you a favor.

Thanks again....Gary
