How does the consoles power outlet get installed? I have a customer finished one back from the shop and the power outlet has two tings in it but the hole for it only has one cutout for a single ting which is 90 degrees out of position for the poweroutet. Is it just a straight push it in till it snaps in place ? Really confused and I don't want to break it. Thank you !

You put one ting in and then twist it to line up the other ting and then push it in.
Do this before you plug the wires in.

Thank you, Worked like a charm. I did notice as I was sitting here pondering my dilemma, that if you look at the sideways at the power outlet, one of the tabs sit just a %$$hair farther back from the other, so I put that one in first then twisted it and sure enough there's just enough 'Give' that you can carefully & slowly twist the outlet till the other one is in and then it's just a half turn back and the two tabs are locked it.

Thank you ! Forum saves me again !

Some things can be frustrating at first, can't they? Glad you got the outlet installed.

Oddly enough, I have another custom finished rear console that has slightly smaller opening for both the power outlet & the gas door switch ? I'll have to use a small file and put a notch in the burl-wood finished console and put it up for sale on Ebay. This forum is an excellent place to get real world information on the C5 from C5 owners.
