2003 XC90 Cigarette Lighter receptacle

Post by 2003XC90 »

I need to replace the cigarette lighter receptacle in our 2003 XC90 (it's a pain not being able to plug in a cell phone). Does anyone have or know the procedures to remove the trim pieces around the radio and shifter? I don't want to start prying with a screwdriver. Thanks!

PS My wife brought the car into the dealer three times (for other reasons,mainly trim and console pieces popping off and breaking ) telling them that the cigarette lighter (receptacle) does not work. Each time they told her it was the fuse and then that it's a fault cell phone cord or whatever we're trying to charge. B.S. The fuse was fine each time and finally I just bought a new receptacle to replace it myself. We love our Volvo, but some of these dealers....
