You will need to gain access to the rear of the light socket. Our reference material doesn't show anything for this. There may be a side panel on the center console/dash that needs to be removed. The lighter socket itself unscrews from the rear section after the power and ground wires are removed. Check both wires to make sure they're making good contact before removing the new lighter assembly from the packaging. The connectors may have just vibrated loose.
