Removal Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Remove the auxiliary power outlet fuse from the underhood fuse block.
  2. Remove the receptacle:
    1. Look into the receptacle. There are two 3 mm (0.11 in) tab windows 12 mm (0.47 in) from the front of the receptacle. The J 42059  pushes the plastic latches from these tab windows and the receptacle can be pulled straight out. See Special Tools and Equipment .
    2. Place one side of the "T" portion of the J 42059  into a tab window (2). See Special Tools and Equipment .

      The J 42059  will not fit straight into the receptacle. See Special Tools and Equipment . Angle the J 42059  slightly for insertion into the receptacle. See Special Tools and Equipment .

    3. Insert the other side of the "T" into the opposite tab window (1).

      You must move the J 42059  handle toward horizontal to engage the other tab window. See Special Tools and Equipment .

    4. Use the J 42059  to pull the receptacle straight out. See Special Tools and Equipment .
