It looks as if the outer body lifts out of the console, get a small flat screw driver and carefully see if it lifts out. i would be thinking that you will need a replacement but you will see what has come loose or broken with the body of the plug removed.

I do not think that part pops off, but I am going to check. Thanks.

If not the console will have to be removed to access the plug.
