Building cars for fun.
This works with all types of cars, mine doesn’t need the tool but thank you for showing me how to do it I greatly appreciate it
Finally, a video showing how to use the tool to remove the socket in my Liberty. All the other videos on YT only talk about replacing the fuse, which falls into the category of _DUHHH_ ...
Ya it's also pretty easy. 👍
Is there any definitive known way to tell that the socket is bad and not something different, such as a fuse, etc? Just want to know before I buy the tool and socket and find out that a replacement doesn't work either. Please let me know if you know, thank you!
Hi Tim, usually fuse if the first thing you look at. Look at your fuses and find out which one is for the covay lighter. If the fuse is bad then you replace and test it again.
After checking the fuse it's usually the cigarette lighter but it could be power connection which also could be tested removing the dashboard if you don't have the tool or disconnecting the battery terminals the trying to remove the socket with screw drivers which is possible but not easy.
Hope this helps
@@CarModsGarage I figured out that the frame pops out all around the cigarette lighter in my car, and saw that my wires aren't connected, but not yet sure if they are an issue. Thank you for reaching back out!
@@tjpat209 of course no problem and good luck.

Doesn't hurt or cost u money to check the fuse. It could be something as simple as the fuse. If u need just a fuse you at least buy a small pack and replace that one that's bad. That would be a some thing you fixed for less than 5 dollars depending on how much a pack of fuses are
Thank you for the helpful video!!! I have a ram 3500 and both of mine also need to be replaced!! I had no idea it was this easy!!! going to buy a couple of those kits right now!!!
I've seen a few videos about how to take these things out and there are very few that get straight to the point like this video...
I've currently got a broken socket - I think I melted a wire from plugging too much stuff in - do I need to take apart my entire dash to access the wire behind? or should it be quick and simple like this?
I don't really care to take it to the shop (and pay out to booty) for a problem so small.
Try like this first and see if you get to see enough wire. It's pretty simple to pull the dash out. Either way works I think.
Literally followed your tutorial and BOOM BAM🎉 finished in 5 minutes…! 👌🏾💎👑
Nice, I'm glad it worked for you! It's very simple.
Really great in depth video, hopefully my instillation later goes smooth.
You are going to be fine 👍
Thank you. I have no one around to ask so I've been looking for "how to vids". Many videos show how to take things all apart and I don't really want to do that. I had asked myself, could I just pull the unit out like you have shown? Thank you for answering that question.
I am glad my video helps! 🤙
Cool thanks gonna use this tool to switch them out to USB. You saved me time and money Thanks
Thank you. I'd never heard of that tool until I saw your video. I quickly made one, and the socket came out easily. I added wires to power a UHF unit.
It all works, but my problem now is the socket does not fit tightly back into the car. If I can't figure out what to bend to make it tight, I will glue it.
But You helped me get it OUT. Thanks again.
**Added later** All went well, no glue needed😂
I'm glad it helped. It might be the tabs that the tool pushed in. It might've broken or it's bent in.
@@CarModsGaragewhat is the name of the tool? Hard to read in the video
@j.c3821 the link is in the description
Auxiliary cable and charging cellphone to used even though use heather of usb when travel
I own a Onewheel Pint, and I bought their car charger for the Pint and it’s blown out every accessory port in my vehicle except for the one inside the center console. It’s a pain in the ass. After watching this, I just bought a two pack of replacement ports for $9.99 and I’m excited to try this.
This was a Grrrreat !!! Thanks so much for that tutorial.
I'm glad it helped 👍
are there only 2 types of sockets.....two prong and three prong? I need to replace the one in my nissan sentra (06). I think it is a 2 prong. I just want to know if any 2 prong socket I can get my hands on wiill work. if I buy a new one from nissan, it will probably cost me $15. but a universal one would cost me less than $10.
Unfortunately I don't know about the Nissan. Sorry man.
Do you know if this is compatible with a ford focus 2006? I've been searching for an answer online but having a hard time. It seems no. Is it possible to just pry it out?
man I believe it is compatible to everything. All the cigarette lighter I've seen are the same except for the connector that powers it. I could be wrong though but I believe it is.
@@CarModsGarage Thank you
Thank you for giving a good advice 😊
my 2020 GMC Canyon has an extra notch on the outside that still keeps it from pulling through. Might be easier to destroy the part :)
I wanted to know if I can switch the one in mom's car without disassembling the dash. Apparently I can! Thanks for the video!
Usually yes. Good luck 🤞
Do you have to disconnect car battery first?
It's always good to disconnect the negative from the battery
Worked perfect on my ram. One question though. They don't want to stay in, for example if I plug in my phone charger and then pull the charger out the whole cig lighter comes out. Is there a trick?
You need to push the cigarette lighter down until you hear the click. If it doesn't click then a tab could be broken
@Car Mods Garage thanks for the quick response! I will look at it again.
THIS VID NEEDS TO BE AT THE TOP OF ANY INTERNET SEARCH ON THIS TOPIC. (UNLESS YOU ENJOY WADING THROUGH OVERLY LONG VIDEOS THAT TAKE YOU DOWN RABBIT HOLES.)
I appreciate it 👍
I had put the socket with 2 USB charging ports inside this hole but now it's not coming out and I'm pulling it I just don't know how to pull that thing out
I would unplug the battery and then use a pair of thin plyers to take it out.
Has anyone tried this on a Toyota? I have a 2002 Rav4 but Amazon says the tool/part is not compatible with my car.
Great, to the point video 👍 One question: the docket on my Toyota 2007 RAV4 is flaky, meaning that the USB charger I plug into it doesn’t always work…I have move it around/twist it/etc to try and get power to the USB charger I plug into the cigarette lighter. Does this indicate I need to replace the socket like in this video…or does it indicate a problem with a fuse or wiring? Thanks
It's the cigarette lighter like in this video. Fuse problem would make the fuse blow. Your problem usually happens either when the cigarette lighter is bad ( may only need to be discovered and have the contacts cleaned) or could the the USB connector to that you are plugging in there.
@@CarModsGarage Thanks…yes, it’s a cigarette lighter like in this video…sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. I bought a brand new USB charger to plug into it, and same problem. So, I guess I need to replace the metal piece like you did in this video? Cheers
@@SteveAtwal yes, that very likely it's your problem
@@CarModsGarage Thanks 🙏 Appreciate the feedback. Just subscribed to your channel. Cheers
Thanks you! Anytime just message and i always reply. 💪🙏
I was afraid to stick a piece of metal in the socket thought I might fry myself lol
Ya you shouldn't. Unplug the negative first
@@CarModsGaragehow to do that?
@@kitemuort9657 on the battery usually in front of the car. The negative is the one plugged on the - sign
It says that just by disconnecting the fuse you’re good
Great start. Let's see if it works on a 98 4Runner.
Any issues? About to do it on my 96
I bought a 97 Honda CRV and the cigarette lighter is completely gone there’s a wire deep in a hole where the cigarette lighter used to be
Great video!!!
Dont you disconnect the battery first ?
Yes you do
As long as you disconnect the fuse, you’ll be ok
Thank you
Do you need to remove the fuses before change them out?
No you don't. Just unplug the negative from the battery
where is the fuse?my tool went bang
Usually in the fuse box. My truck is under the hood.
@@CarModsGarage was I meant to pull the fuse first?
where can I buy a new tool and fuse?
@@front2427 I got this one amzn.to/3FRTLbf
@@CarModsGarage thanks m80 ill have a look
Thani you let me record them
Nice!
Where can I buy this tool?
Hi, you can get it O'Reilly Auto parts or AutoZone. I put an Amazon link in the description
why you didnt show how to disconnect it😢
Just pull it. There is no secret. It is almost like taking a plug out of the wall
How to disconnect it ? And reconnect
Pull it out and push it in. There is super simple and there are no tabs locking it
Thank you 😎
Whats this tool called?
I have the link in the description but I think it is a cigarette lighter remover.
Very good, thank you
Like, subscribe and comment : thank you😊
👌👍
$10? For a tool? Dude take any pointed object and press one side while pushing and then press the other and push it out.. wtf
If you're broke just say that
@@TheMias24 good one.
Sorry lol was a joke, but seriously I get that it is literally a stick of metal but it's kind of useful and it's not something you can really use your fingers with (mine are too big) or any normal screwdrivers (also too big) so I think it's a completely fair charge.
Push it out, or pull it out?
I have that same tool and it’s hard enough. I cannot imagine using something else
I see a person yanking it out but not replacing
