Cig Lighter Socket not working--2004 Lancer Sportback
 

Hi,
I'm hoping you guys can help since I'm a Mitsubishi noob. I just got a 2004 Sportback LS automatic. Lighter/accessory socket is not working. Checked the fuses and all are good. For grins I replaced the fuse anyway.
How to I remove the socket itself to test it? It looks like the center console has to come off. Can anyone give me directions? I don't want to crack or break anything.
Any help is appreciated!
