  1. Remove the auxiliary power outlet fuse from the fuse block.
  2. Remove the receptacle:
    1. Look into the receptacle. There are two 3 mm (0.11 in) tab windows 12 mm (0.47 in) from the front of the receptacle. The J 42059  pushes the plastic latches from these tab windows and the receptacle can be pulled straight out. See Special Tools .
    2. Place one side of the "T" portion of the J 42059  into the tab window. See Special Tools . The J 42059  will not fit straight into the receptacle. See Special Tools . Angle the J 42059  slightly for insertion into the receptacle. See Special Tools .
    3. Insert the other side of the "T" into the opposite tab window.

      You must move the J 42059  handle toward horizontal to engage the other tab window. See Special Tools .

    4. Use the J 42059  to pull the receptacle straight out. See Special Tools .
