Is it the button itself that you're suppose to push in to release the console lid, Phil?

I will check mine out tomarrow. My fuse for in car lights id burnt out so i can't see it tonight.

i dont think anything goes there, the push button is usually spring loaded, maybe your spring came out

bump.. anyone

Based on what i have if does not look like you are missing anything from the lower portion of your center console.


Pictures 1-3 are of the lower portion of the center console. Looks similar to yours.


Pictures 4-7 are of my spring loaded latch in the lid of the center console.


If you have any more questions let me know.

Is your button springing out as far as mine is, in pictures 5 & 6?

hmm, heres where its at

[CHMLEON]

Looks to me that the clip on the button is broken or worn out.

hmm thats really odd, considering i bought the whole thing brand new a year or so ago. thanks!
