Default Dash Power Outlet is out

this came out with my charger yesterday. Is this going to be a pain to put back in or replace?

Thanks!

The power and ground connection are located behind the console, so that would need to be removed. Not a big job. Could be done in about 30 minutes.

Super simple, you just need to
to get at it. The plastic retainer that attaches to those threads in the back to hold it in place is likely broken and may need to be replaced, or you can cobble something together to keep it in there. There's also a very good chance the fuse is blown as well. There's a lot of metal back there for the hot connection to find and short out.
