You need to remove the auxiliary power outlet fuse from the fuse block and the receptacle. If J 42059 tool fails to release the lighter socket from the retainer, perform the following alternate method: insert a small grinding tool with a cutoff wheel into the socket, remove the plastic latches in the 3 mm (0.11 in) square windows and use the J 42059 as directed above to remove the socket.

You need to route the connector through the retainer, align the accessory power receptacle retainer to the slot in the opening, install the retainer by pressing it into place fully seated, connect the electrical connector to the receptacle, align the tabs on the receptacle to the slots in the retainer and install the accessory power receptacle by pressing into place until fully seated and the accessory power receptacle fuse.

You need to look into the receptacle. There are two 3 mm (0.11 in) tab windows and 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. Then you can place one side of the °T° portion of the J 42059 into the tab window. The J 42059 will not fit straight into the receptacle. Next, you can angle the J 42059 slightly for insertion into the receptacle, insert the other side of the °T° into the opposite tab window, and use the J 42059 to pull the receptacle straight out.
