APPLICATIONS
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Installation is not really hard. It is just a little time-consuming. (It takes us about 20 minutes, but we have done several of them.) Don't let these instructions scare you away. Good, detailed instructions will always be a little lengthy... The console does not need to come out of the vehicle. You just have to disassemble part of it. Basically, you're removing the tail section and the storage bin, with the lid attached to it. Here goes...
You will need to pull the lower plastic tail section from your console first. It is held on with six pressure connectors. (See our ads for the CTS rear assembly if you what to be sure of the locations.) If you cannot get your hand under the bottom edge of the lower tail, you will need to use a plastic pry tool to get in from each side and pry the very bottom out. Then you should be able to use your hands to pull the tail away, which will pop the remaining clips loose. Once you remove it, you will find one or two wiring connectors holding it on. It's best to push the pressure tabs on those and remove them from the plugs so you can get the lower tail out of the way. Then you can use a philips bit to remove the three screws centered under the console lid tail piece. (So you might have to get your head down by the floor to look up and see them.) There are three more screws inside the storage compartment, under the removable rubber inserts, and another screw under the small felt lined bin, located under the hinged door just in front of the console lid. (Next to another power accessory outlet.) To get that bin out, just apply pressure on it from two different sides and pull up towards you. (It's just held in with a couple small plastic 'nubs'.) If it won't come out, move your fingers to different positions and keep trying. Once you have all the screws out, the lid and storage assembly can be lifted straight up. There is one wiring plug towards the back which must be disconnected before you can raise it very far. (It just has a pressure tab you squeeze in while you pull the two plugs apart.) Then you can lift the rear of the assembly up and spin it back and forth to get at the various plugs for the USB/Aux, power accessory, remote sensor, and household power outlet (if applicable). The USB/Aux module and power accessory outlet just have pressure tabs you squeeze while you pull the plug out. Easy peasy. The remote sensor requires you to slide a very small screwdriver under the lip closest to the little square opening that you can see purple through. Just give it a little twist while pulling on the plug and it pops out. The household power outlet has two plugs on it that can be a pain. You will have to use your really small screw driver again and force it down next to the skinny side of the plug. It needs to go on the outside of the pressure tab that you can barely see, poking up out of the plug receptacle. Once all those things are removed you can remove those various modules/outlets. You can see there are just two pressure tabs holding the USB/Aux module in. Push the module towards the inside of the storage bin as you press on the tabs with a screwdriver. For the household power module (if applicable), there are four such tabs. Two and two, on opposing sides. Again, push the module towards the inside of the storage bin while pressing the tabs one at a time. The power accessory outlet can be a bit of a challenge. There is a plastic sleeve at the very top of it, inserted into the storage tray. There are two tabs on that sleeve which drop into slots on the metal shaft. You have to pry those plastic tabs away from the metal shaft, while pushing on the end of the assembly (where the plug was removed). If you do it right, the metal shaft starts sliding into the storage bin. (Note: it can take quite a bit of pressure to make it do so. As long as you have the plastic tabs bent out of the metal shaft a bit, you can't do it any harm by pushing on it fairly hard.) Once the metal shaft pops out into the storage bin, you should be able to just push on the plastic sleeve to make it pop out into the storage bin as well. With all those modules out of the way, you can remove the two screws holding the remote sensor brain in place. Then remove the ring for the sensor. There are two plastic tabs holding it in place. You can usually push one of them in while pulling the ring up and it will pop loose. Then you can retrieve your parts from inside the storage bin and repeat the process in reverse to install the replacement assembly. Phew, that was a lot of typing...
