I've got to ask why you need to? If it's not working then the problem is most likely to be either a blown fuse or a bent connector.
It's part of the centre-console assembly, and a bit tricky to unclip.
If there's no other alternative, then you need to do it from underneath - that is, remove the centre-console first.
Then the bulb-holder will need to come out, and after that the middle chrome part. Finally the orange outer bit should just unclip by squeezing the clips around the sides.

Thank's for your reply. What I am trying to do is: install the sounder box for my reverse sensors. I need the live feed which they recommend from my cigarette lighter and an earth. The sensors I have already installed and are all conected to the feed etc. I did not want to run a feed the whole lengh of the car.

Oh I see. I would be tempted to use the main positive feed to the stereo as it's usually on the same circuit and is also ignition switched. Plus there's probably more space near the stereo to mount the sounder box, and less to move out of the way to get at it in the first place.

Why not wire them up to the reverse lights? That's what I did when I fitted them and routed the sound unit to sit behind the rear passenger seat, there is a little cubby hold there.

I didn't think of doing that way. Great idea lets hope Sunday is fine that is the day for the dirty deed. Thank's for you help,
Good motoring,
Andy
