Hey, ScionLife!

Been lurking for a while (Thanks for the post on replacing the side mirror. Stupid baltimore drivers.), but now I have a question I have not been able to search my way to enlightenment for.

My aux jack has recently been shorting out during use. I lose the entire left channel and no amount of wiggling the cable or holding in a certain position will help. Yes, I also tried a brand-new mini-jack cable. This brings back childhood trauma of bad experiences with off-brand Walkmen.

I was hoping I could just get access to the jack and re-solder the contacts or replace it, but I have no idea how to remove the housing around it. I was thinking of subscribing to Chilton's for a month to see if they had instructions, but I am a cheap bastard that believes strongly in the Wisdom of the Forum.

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

you have to remove the center console to get to it... remove the shift **** and there is a screw in the back cup holder and the front is held on with clips...

Thanks for the reply! I did see that screw in the rear cup holder. So if I remove that, I assume the center console will then lift from the back to the front which will disengage the clips or something like that? This doesn't sound too bad...

pull up at the front to disengage the clips... and remove the the cover right under the parking brake
