Hi William,

        IIRC the cigarette lighter is held in by (I think it's 2) plastic
tabs. You can get access to the lighter by dropping your glovebox. There
are a couple of plastic cables that restrict how far the glovebox opens
---- these clip into notches at the back of the glovebox --- you'll see
them. Flip these out of the notches and the glovebox will flop all the way
forward (did I mention emptying the glovebox first :-). Now you can reach
over and get your hands on the back of the cigarette lighter --- squeeze
the plastic tabs while pushing/pulling on the lighter socket and out she
comes.

Cheers,
Doug

        Subject:        Cigarete lighter removal

Can anyone tell me how to remove the cigarette lighter in a 1989 vanagon
GL?
I'm trying to isolate a short in that system. Are there pages in Bentley?
