lighter removal

[Tiny's Tahoe]

Can anyone tell me how to remove the cigarette lighter on my 99 Tahoe ?

O.K.. I got it.. First you have to remove the lower part of the dash. Under the steering column You see a panel with a vent in it, you must remove that first. There are a couple of screws on the bottom edge, after that it pops off like the rest of the dash. Once you get that off open the glove box and take out the ashtray. Now you will see the bracket that the lighter and auxiliary plugs are attached to. On the left and right edge you will see two tabs on each side, pop those out and you can then pop out the lighter housing. I hope this knowledge will help some one, it would have helped me out. Enjoy
