Cigarette Lighter Removal

Q: Cigarette Lighter Removal

For a 1968 ‘Bird, how do you remove the cigar(ette) lighter? I can get my hand up there (barely) but can’t figure out how to get it out. Is it clipped in or does it screw in? The wire won’t come off either. Something so simple and it has to give me a hard time.

A: Remove the wire (it just snaps on) and unscrew the housing from the backside.

  • I have a 69 Firebird and need to replace the cigarette lighter, you cannot just simply remove the wire and unscrew it, there is another small cylinder?r attached to it that does not allow you to unscrew the housing. Any tips short of removing the dashboard to get to it?
