For vehicles with the console shifter, the shift lock that keeps you stuck in park until the brake pedal is pressed, is directly alongside the shifter.

To remove the console cover - ashtray/lighter
  • Open the storage / armrest lid

  • Follow the top portion of the cover to where it comes to the top-front of the storage compartment

  • Simply lift up - there are no screws, nor any clips (at least on mine)

  • Where the top portion connects to the front section, there are 2 'ears' that go underneath the front piece -
    * tilt the back section way up, nearly vertical and lift away

  • NOTES:
    • The front section has 2 hidden 'friction' clip type fasteners at the top, just to each side of the ashtray.

    • put the shifter way down into 1st gear to make some room for getting the front section out

  • Lift and pull the cover towards you - wiggle it a bit side-to-side to gently extract the hidden fasteners.

  • Disconnect the lighter socket wiring

With the cover out of the way, you can see where all the coffee and pop has spilled onto the linkage, and the shift-interlock.

Clean with a toothbrush and bit of spray cleaner, DO NOT FLOOD the switch, ya don't want to drown it.
