Cigarette lighter & socket disappeared????

The other day I pushed in the lighter, except everything pushed back into the dash. Can't reach any of it from below, guess I'll have to remove that section of the dash. Any suggestions how to go about this?

Just pull out the Radio you should be able to reach it but be careful it is powered all the time. If you are not sure how to pull the radio get a book, you will find a lot of info init.

Dude, Had the same thing happen to me with my 95 Splash. Yeppers you will have to remove the radio to retrieve the lighter, but like rellik said " BE CAREFUL " it is powered all the time.


PeAcE Out,
Splash 95
