topdri68 Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 (edited) I purchased a new power outlet cover for my edge center console a long time ago but cannot get the old one removed. I have read some information found via google but I cannot seem to get it off. The door broke on it which is why I want to replace it. No urgency. I have attached a picture of the new part. I don't want to force and break it. Thanks in advance for any help! Edited June 6, 2018 by topdri68 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar302 Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 You need a special tool to remove the power outlet, then I believe you can replace the cover. https://www.amazon.com/Dorman-56457-Cigarette-Lighter-Removal/dp/B00G3YYSLE/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1528293696&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=Dorman+56457+Cigarette+Lighter+Socket+and+Removal+Tool&dpPl=1&dpID=41jzz8XCo5L&ref=plSrch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topdri68 Posted July 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 I just saw this reply and have ordered the tool. Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWizard Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 Make sure you disconnect the battery before using the tool. It's easy to insert the tool into the socket far enough to short against the center pin at the bottom. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topdri68 Posted July 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 (edited) So I got the tool and the cigarette lighter still would not come out. I had to take the console top off and even then it was very difficult. I ended up damaging the cigarette lighter itself and used the one that came with the tool to replace it. All seemed fine but the new lighter does not work. I checked the fuse #9 under the hood and all seems fine. Any ideas on what could be the problem? Is the new cigarette lighter (even though the connector is the same as the old) not compatible with my edge? Thanks for your help!

topdri68 Posted July 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 I even swapped fuses with the 20 amp moon roof and the moon roof works fine still but the cigarette lighter still did not. The cigarette lighter (power point) should work. <scratching my head> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topdri68 Posted July 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 I may have looked at the incorrect fuse. I looked here: http://www.autogenius.info/ford-flex-2015-fuse-box-diagram-usa-version/ and it states the "inside-bin powerpoint" being fuse #20.
