Not really an electrical problem so I've put it here. :y
Should be so simple but I could rebuild an engine quicker than I can get the accessory socket out. ::) ;D
I thought my phone charger had died but it appears to be the socket in the rear of the centre console that is at fault. :-\ I have checked the fuse and the time delay and they are fine so I removed the arm rest, complete with the power socket and heated seat buttons, tested the wiring and that's OK so I assume it's the power socket itself.
I have squeezed the tabs, levered the tabs and they are rigid so I conclude that there must be some sort of twisting / squeezing solution to removing it. ::)
It's a sad day when I'm defeated by a bit of plastic, so come on guys, what's the method please. :-\

Rear acc. socket has it`s own relay energised by the timer delay relay.
Bank of three up above the fuse box on the drivers side and coloured Red, Yellow & Green.
Green is the acc. relay. Have you checked that before swapping out the socket

Cheers for the reply Rob. :y
No, I haven't checked that as I have power getting to the socket so I assumed it was the socket, but thanks for that, I'll check that in the morning. :y

Relay`s good then

When I removed one from a breaker I had to destroy the casing to get it out

I thought it was just me struggling with it. ;D
Might just relocate another one then. :y

Sorted now. :y
Used circlip pliers with angled prongs pointing outwards, locate in metal cylinder slot tabs, squeeze pliers and pull metal cylinder up.
So easy when you know how. ::) :y
