How can I replace the cigarette lighter socket?  

 I cannot find any diagrams on how to take the dash off to get access to the socket.  Is buying a Chiltons CD Rom going to have the diagram?  And the replacement part appears to be a dealer only item?

 Thanks,

The cowl on top of the dash, with the mesh gridwork, just snaps down. Use a hooking tool and pull up around the edges through the mesh, not by the mesh. That will expose two screws to remove the center radio/HVAC bezel. Remove the two screws and then pull the bezel forward and down. The bottom of the bezel is held inplace by clips.
