How to Assemble and Remove an Ashtray in a 2006 Cadillac STS

The STS, which stands for the S-Series Touring Sedan, is a full-size luxury car manufactured by Cadillac since 2005. The 2006 STS features an upright dash loaded with accessories: dual-zone front climate control, Bose premium radio, XM satellite radio, DVD navigation system, Bluetooth wireless data link and OnStar telecommunications service. The ashtray is located below the climate control. Removal of the ashtray is a simple task, once you remove the center trim panel.

Instructions

Removal

    1

    Use a thin putty knife or a fiber stick to pry out the bottom of the center trim panel from around the radio, ashtray and display. The trim is held in with retaining clips. Work your way up slowly and gently pull the panel toward you. Label and disconnect any wiring connectors from the back. Remove the panel and set it aside.

    2

    Remove the four screws holding the ashtray.

    3

    Pull the ashtray forward and disconnect the electrical connector from the back.

Installation

    4

    Connect the electrical connector to the back of the ashtray.

    5

    Slide the ashtray into the opening and install the four screws. The screws should be tightened to 80 inch-pounds or until tight.

    6

    Reconnect any wiring connectors to the back of the center trim panel.

    7

    Place the center trim panel on the dash and carefully push on the panel to engage the retaining clips.
