General description
Caution
If excessive force is exerted on sockets without illumination,
the retaining sleeve may be damaged.
Only illuminated sockets (cigarette lighter) can be removed
with the puller T 40148.
The puller does not manage to release the locking lugs of
sockets without illuminated retaining sleeve.
Usually sockets without illumination cannot be removed with‐
out being damaged.
On some vehicles, the illumination is not provided by a light bulb,
but by an LED (light-emitting diode), depending on the equipment
level. This LED is permanently attached to the retaining sleeve
and cannot be renewed separately.
Retaining sleeves with a light bulb are available in different ver‐
sions. On the one version, the light bulb can be replaced sepa‐
rately; on the other version, the light bulb cannot be replaced
separately. In this case, the bulb carrier has to be replaced to‐
gether with the light bulb.
Depending on the space requirement, the vehicles are equipped
with various electric sockets and cigarette lighter sockets. They
differ in length and have different electrical connections. In the
case of electric sockets or cigarette lighter sockets with a wiring
tail, it may be necessary to perform additional work in order to
gain access to the connector.
