auxiliary power socker not working

[MARTIN_S 113]

My auxiliary socket (below the pointless cup holder between the seats) is suddenly not working so checked the fuse (33) and all ok. Swapped it anyway but no change.

So assume maybe a wires come off behind, though Any other suggestions welcome.

What's the method for taking it out and checking the connections. Is it simply pushed into its position?

Thanks for any help as always.

Probably just the connector has popped off the back. To remove take out the single screw in the tat tray and lift up, this will expose two more screws, remove those and lift the whole assembly out. Then you can reconnect the cigarette lighter socket. 

If they are still connected, try checking for earth and live continuity as the cable may have snagged on something, but a loose connector is most likely

You could try to remove the socket from the front and and wiggle out but from the front you are likely to snap the snap in tabs
