2019 Ventana - Help removing cigarette lighter socket and phone charging pad

[HDRKC2007]

Hey Everyone,

I could use some helpful guidance on how to remove the cigarette lighter socket and the phone charging pad located in the center section under the radio on a 2019 Newmar Ventana. Thank you,
Gary

On my 2017, you should be able to remove the drawers underneath the pad and get at both...but I am not sure the 2017 is the same as the 2019...

Thanks for the reply. I was wondering about accessing from below by removing those two drawers. I'll give it a try. I did notice in mine there feels like there is a piece in between the wiring access from below, above the top drawer. I'll see if that's removable.

Welcome to the forum. A lot of useful information here.

Not specifically the drawers…the drawer housing. Our 2016 is held in with four hex driver machine screws. The housing assembly slides out.

The charging port has a connector..,then four screws in the tray above releases the module.

I didn’t look at the cigarette lighter…but I did notice the factory wire harness had an extra unused pair of wires. I need to check them out to see if it is full time or on only with ignition. Might be a good source for adding another charging port.
