2 Answers
The steps to remove the cigarette lighter in a Lexus ES are: 1. Remove the panel of the gear shift lever. Take off the entire panel of the shift lever. 2. Remove the screws of the cigarette lighter panel. Press and open the cigarette lighter panel door, then use an M4 hex wrench to remove the two black screws. 3. Remove the entire cigarette lighter panel box. Simply pull out the plastic panel box of the cigarette lighter directly, disconnect the connecting wires first, and then the cigarette lighter can be removed. Additional information: 1. Exterior: The exterior is elegant and dignified, low-key and restrained, with smooth lines, making it more suitable for business use. 2. Interior: The overall interior design style is business luxury, with rich configurations, exquisite and delicate craftsmanship, comfortable seats, panoramic sunroof design, and navigation system among other features.
I've removed the Lexus ES cigarette lighter several times and found it quite simple. Turn off the engine and remove the key to ensure safety, eliminating any risk of electric shock. The cigarette lighter is usually fixed in the storage compartment area of the center console. You can pry open the decorative ring part with a small plastic pry tool or your fingernail—avoid using metal tools to prevent scratching the interior panel. Once pried open, the cigarette lighter will be exposed; gently pull it out, and you'll see it connected to a small plug. Remember to disconnect it first and avoid pulling forcefully. If the cigarette lighter stops working, it might be a blown fuse, so it's a good idea to check the fuse box location while you're at it. The whole process takes less than 10 minutes. I bought a 10-yuan pry tool set on an e-commerce platform, which turned out to be super useful. After removal, you can use it to clean dust or modify it into a USB port, but don't forget to reinstall and test its functionality.
