i was wondering if anyone knew how to remove the power outlet. is there a clip or are there some bolts to remove. i wanted to take that out, so that i could mount my switch for my neon there.

Removing it? Really?!
I wish I had two sockets like the Liberty did. I had to buy one that I use for my cell charger and my radar detector.

you have to remove the whole bezel and theres a trick to getting it off there i think, been awhile since i had mine off

ok well im sorry to say, but i gave up on the cigarette lighter thing. i made a replacement fuse panel out of plexi-glass and put my switch for my neon there...
thanks for trying to help me[]

You know these fuse covers are $9.00 from Ford for the light grey ones! If you have a black interior they are almost $30.00 (for SVT's and few of the Regular Foci)

The SVT's have a second plug by the passenger cup holder... Maybe you could accuire one of these... For a second outlet... jrzx3

I have a questions maybe someone can answer, can you get to the back of the power outlet on the dash by removing the panel under the sterring wheel. I want to replace the outlet with a start button. I planned to do this with my Camaro, but I traded it in. I want to remove the outlet there now and replace it. I just need access to get behind it to do ther wiring.

yes, if you take that piece out, you dcan see the cigarette lighter, but i still dont know how to take it out. i just gave up on that. but if you take the part off by the feet, it gives you easy access to get in there.

start button? cool. to start what though?

 

[kevincasey]

to start the after burners, of course!

Still no one has given a good example on how to remove the cig/power outlet from the radio bezel. I have been trying to figure it out and have not been able to do it. I am afraid I might break the thing off. Can anyone give good examples or photos on how to do this? Thanks

I removed the cig lighter on my '06 in order to paint the bezel. Absolutely no way I could see to remove the thing without breaking it up. It's on there like iron.

I used a big channel lock to squash/break the thing. Fitting a new one in there after the painting was finished was also hard. You may need to buy one from Ford. The after-market ones I found don't fit the OEM opening.

Don't attempt removal unless absolutely necessary.
