Rear 12v socket wire access?

[deputydog2003]

I would like to tap in to the wires that the 12v accessory plug in the rear of my 2011 pilot EX-L Nav use to wire an accessory back there (a mag-light charger.)

Does anyone know how to access the wires from behind the receptical? In other words, how to pop open the body panel or remove the receptical to gain access to the wires? It's the 12v plug above the subwoofer on the right side of the rear panel?

Thank you.

I figured it out. You remove 3 screws, one holding the cargo net ring on the bottom, one where you would hold the cargo net at the top and one where the grocery bag holder is. Then you pull apart the rubber weather stripping that seals the liftgate in the area of the panel. Then you pull the panel off which is attached by clips.

I wired my flashlight charger by tapping in to the wires that go to the cigarette lighter accessory plug, and then I reversed the steps to replace the panel.
