Cigar lighter is loose in my center console--how to fix?
Hey guys, my center console cigar lighter is no longer secured. It's still got power to it, and I use it daily for my V1 detector,....but the entire lighter assembly is loose and free to be pulled completely out of the console. Thinking it's probably just a failed plastic retainer clip and wondering if I have to remove the console, and replace the entire lighter assembly to fix this.

The lighter is held in by the green surround. It has a little tab on it. If that is broken then you will need a new lighter assembly. It could just be it is not pushed in. But regardless you need to pull the console to get to it. Not that difficult to do.
$24 on ebay for a used one.

replace it with this... Dual USB Charger Socket - Blue Sea Systems
It supposed to fit right into the hole from the lighter.
Here is the Britparts version (looks like it's a re-branded Blue Sea)

Just seen this on ebay. Looks very close to what is in there now except blue in color.
