• Q: How to Service the Cigarette Lighter in Your Vehicle on 2006 Toyota Tacoma?

  A: Service of the Auxiliary Cigarette Lighter begins with disconnecting the negative battery terminal cable. Begin parking brake service by cleaning away the instrument panel under tray through pedal routes or lever point with the instrument panel hole cover. The service should start with the automatic and manual transmission console upper rear panel sub-assembly removal for separate seat types before proceeding with the rear console box assembly extraction. The instrument panel cup holder tray together with the front console box need to be removed for automatic and manual transmissions on separate and bench seat installations. The technician should remove the air conditioning control assembly, radio receiver assembly before separating the hood lock control lever sub-assembly. Continue by disconnecting the No.1 lower instrument panel finish panel together with the instrument cluster finish panel sub-assembly, instrument cluster center finish panel sub-assembly, lower instrument panel LH, and the instrument lower cover sub-assembly. To finish the procedure you should turn the cigarette lighter counterclockwise to disengage the claw before pushing the socket toward the room side. Encoding the socket with the protuberance on cigarette lighter cover will allow you to drive the cigarette lighter assembly securely into position. Reinstall the instrument lower cover sub-assembly along with the lower instrument panel LH followed by the instrument cluster center finish panel sub-assembly, instrument cluster finish panel sub-assembly, No.1 lower instrument panel finish panel, hood lock control lever sub-assembly, radio receiver assembly, and air conditioning control assembly. Proceed to reinstall the front console box for manual and automatic transmissions and separate and bench seat types alongside the instrument panel cup holder tray for automatic transmission on separate seats and the rear console box assembly for separate seats. The final installation steps include placing the console upper rear panel sub-assembly on separate seat types with both manual and automatic transmissions and adding the instrument panel hole cover for lever type parking brake along with the instrument panel under tray for pedal type parking brake while reattaching the cable to the negative battery terminal with a torque of 3.9 N.m (40 kgf.cm, 35 in.lbf).
