the ash tray dose say in closed position

On my 95 Chevy 1500, the 4way flasher is located in fuse panel on firewall driver side under dash. To get to the turn signal flasher, remove the bottom dash panel and the entire ash tray compartment. I also removed the cup holder unit to allow light. The turn signal flasher was located just below the the radio and AC area. Mine was wrapped in tape from the factory, but if you turn the turn signals on you will feel the vibration and be able to locate it from the sound.

does all the other lights work on car if so its best to just replace radio the lights for that are internal better just liveing with out the lights for radio or open ash tray where you can see radio from ash tray light

How do I change the cigarette lighter socket?

For a 95 Chevy Silverado....I replaced the Blend Door Actuator on the passenger side. Just behind the slide out cup holder. Yo ucan acces easily by removing the ash tray piece and the glove box....Or just the glove box and work like hell to get a socket in a tight place.

There are 2 actuators....one controlling the (Mode and Temp 89018681) and the other the (Air Inlet 89018367). I called the dealer and the parts were 85-125. I got it From TBA Auto (local store) for 39.00. A 20 min job at most.
