Default Replace Cigarette Lighter Cover

The 12v cigarette lighter cover for my rear seat got broken off. Does anyone have a parts diagram that shows if this piece comes by itself and is easy to replace. Cant tell it the black cover is separate from the entire gray plastic. It looks like it is, but I couldnt just easily pop off the black part for the cover.

How odd... The same thing happened to me over the weekend.
I stuck a USB Charger in there so the kids don't stick their finger in the hole.

It seems to be a pretty common issue.

Not sure if the F350 console comes apart the same way as the F150.
Here's a Youtube video of a guy fixing his F350 :

Thanks. Seeing the part solo helps in figuring out how to remove it. Will give it a shot this weekend

Did you replace yours yet?? I'm afraid to take apart the center console. But it looks like thats what has to be done.

Went out to the truck during my Lunch Hour today to see how difficult it is to pull off the Cup Holder. I got it out with one hand. It surprised me how easily it came up.
You can see in the photo that it's held in place with those little metal retainers.


You can see the metal clips that hold the Cupholder in place....


I need to look at the video again to see how to get the 12V lighter out... Might try that later tonight.

Mine is now fixed. Follow the video posted above. (The F350 Center Console is not that different)
Hardest part was disconnecting the wired connection to the 12V Lighter and then getting the metal piece separated from the plastic cover.
Now that I know how, I could do it in 10~15 minutes.
