2007 C4 Ac Socket

[jackiescar]

Hi folks,

 

I am a recent c4 owner and I am having problems with the cigarette lighter/power socket. It seems to work when it feels like it. I often need to 'jiggle the plug in the socket to get a connection. How do I remove it from the centre console to repair/replace it.

Many thanks for any help. 

Jackie

Welcome to the forum.

 

There is a Haynes manual for the C4 which is worth getting. In it to remove the cigar lighter socket near the handbrake, it first says to remove the centre console and then the surround with the socket in so it can then be removed. Rather than a problem with the socket, you could have a problem with the device you are plugging in to it so I would check this first.

Thanks for help. I have tried several different devices, satnav, phone charger etc things that all worked perfectly in my other car, and they all only work intermittently now. I shall search for manual and try to remove it myself.
