2GS cig lighter socket removal help
On my 2000 GS, the cigarette lighter socket in the ash tray quit working (no power) but fuse is fine. Dealer mechanic said the contacts on the socket are bad (guessing due to corrosion) and the whole socket assembly needs replacing. Has anyone with similar problem replaced this socket before? If so, appreciate any tutorial on how to remove the ashtray and socket assembly to do this repair. I searched the entire CL forum and didn't find anything on this topic for 2GS. Many thanks.

jriggs, your instruction was super helpful since it took me a mere 15 secs to pull that ash tray assembly out, much easier than I had expected. Will order socket to replace the old one. Still can't believe dealer wants to charge me $95 labor plus parts for this simple job. Many thanks for your help.

A new socket assembly which includes a new liter retails for $90 MSRP but you can get it from Sewellparts.com for half price being a CL member. Hope this helps.
