Re: Ash Tray Lamp

Lift center console armrest.
Remove black bin held by two screws at the bottom of the bin
There is a connector (white I think) that plugs onto the back of the cigarette lighter. Built into that plug is a lampholder for the ash tray.

The wood panel that holds all the switches and stuff is a pain to unsnap from the back and the clips are prone to break. If you are lucky enough to be able feel around and unplug this w/o removing the panel, you will count yourself lucky. I have to get into that area to replace a sensor in about 2 weeks. I can send a pic if you want one so you know what you're dealing with.
