How to remove 12-volt socket and cigarette lighter socket to access wiring connection
The truck is in 03 f150 there is a problem with the wiring connections at the back of the cigar lighter socket I need to know the proper way to access that wiring
By the way after a lot of anger and swearing.....a few internet searches that gave me a little bit more insight on what held it into the dash location and a few attempts with a pair of metal picks....I was able to yank it out the front even if it's not meant to come that way and I'm making a trip to the local junk yard today to see if I can't get a replacement as the inside of mine has a lot of rust and corrosion dirty connections.....
I I found this last image on a forum for Ford Econoline motorhome and after getting a picture of a specialized tool for this situation and understanding how the tool released the socket I took a closer look at mine and realize that my socket does not release the way those do but somewhat similar.....and that's when I went at it with the pics figuring what the heck even if I break it if it comes out I can get a new one
