Hey guys,
I know there is a tutorial on how to disassemble the xB's front console floating around, but it doesn't seem to be the same for the xA. I've tried taking it apart, but I haven't been able to. I want to change the bulb for the little cubby whole (easy bake oven). The housing for the bulb has clips, but they seem to be pretty hard. I don't know if I'm supposed to take it apart the console first, or what. Help

 

The oven is held in place by 4 screws. The lower ones are farther back.

First thing to remove is the silver accents on each side.. pop those out with a screwdriver and youll be able to reach all the other console components.. I think there are 5 separate ones.

You MAY OR MAY NOT.. cant remember, have to remove the accents on top (the 2 round ac vents) and then pull off the ac controls... I know this must be done for the radio, but cant remember how far down the console you need to go.

 

Thanks tiber, I'll check it out later today.

 

take pictures! add to the knowledge, I'm about to head down the same route in a few weeks :D

 

the oven comes out w/just those four screws and the bulb size is 194...kragen had red and blue ones when i went there today.

after you take off the two main silver pillars in the xa, just about EVERYTHING is accessable from that console, with the exception of the radio/a/c area. To get to those, take off the two ***** from the a/c (turn all the way left and pull, the other all the way right and pull) and then unscrew all 4 screws and pull up, it'll all come off (freaked me out when i did it)

 

Actually, this was a very old thread. I posted the topic before I was even a moderator. I ended up posting a tutorial later on... https://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=37733

 

miko asking for help? wha? you're kidding right? you're supposed to be the DIY god!

It's no different than takin off the dash to access the head unit.
