Hello All!

I have a 2001 Volvo S40. The cigarette lighter (12V Power Outlet) broke on my center console. It just dropped into the whole where it was sitting on. I might have pushed it too hard.

I managed to pull it back, but something broke off and if I push it a little harder it will go back again. I would like to fix it somehow permanently, but I couldn't take apart the center console.

A step by step instruction would be really helpful. Thanks in advance!

 

Hope these help:

Thanks very much billofdurham!
Not sure if you can help, but I had a problem with locating the rear cetner console guard (3). I have rigid insert in there and I am guessing the guard is underneath, but I couldn't get this insert out.

Thanks again!

 

On other Volvos the 'guard' is an insert that hides the screws and can be prised out using a fine screwdriver or a thin blade. I am not sure about the S/V40 but would have thought the same would apply.

 

Thanks very much. That seems to be the case with mine S40. I will keep tring.
Thank you again for your help!!

 

anything like this for taking the radio out? or does it come out easily after i take the console piece off? thanks!

 

Take the radio out by pushing in on the two catcheson the face of the head unit. They will pop out when you remove your finger. Take hold of them and pull them out as far as they will go and the radio panel will slide out of its housing. Make sure you have the radio code if you are going to disconnect the unit.

 

thanks! i was all set to install my FM modulator for my Zune until i found this lame proprietary antenna connector :/

 

Hello, I have the same problem with the cigarette lighter having fallen down into the centre console. Unfortuntely I can't see the pics that billofdurham provided, so would be grateful if someone could provide them again or some instructions. Thanks very much in advance.
