Upper Console

Starting the console replacement requires first disconnecting the battery ground cable with shaker knob removal. Disconnect the battery ground cable before pulling at the rear of the hinge cover from the console bin to release its retainer. Start by uninstalling the console Cup Holder and ashtray before moving on to the console trim plate. You need to remove the bolts which secure the console to the i-p carrier by unscrewing the console nuts. Lifting the back end of the console with slight force enables pulling the console back to release its front section from underneath the i-p carrier. Start by disconnecting the electrical connector from the electrical accessory plug and unscrewing the console electrical accessory plug retainer from its housing. Finally disconnect the housing from the console. Use a flat tool to disengage the lamp from its retainer then guide it through the console hole before you can safely remove the console from the vehicle. Place the console into its position in the vehicle while fitting the lamp into the bin while ensuring the hole routes the lamp to engage with its retainer. First position the electrical accessory plug housing on the console while ensuring the cover is in place then attach the electrical accessory plug retainer to the housing. Connect the electrical connector at the front of the console so it fits under the i-p carrier's rear section. Secure the console retaining nuts and bolt to the I/P carrier, and tighten the nuts to 10 N m (89 lb in). Reinstall the console trim plate and Cup Holder and ashtray before applying the hinge cover to the console bin by pressing down to activate the retaining clips. For final setup replace the shifter knob, check that the console door works properly, then complete by reconnecting the battery ground cable.

Remove the shifter knob.
