You know that little storage compartment with the electric socket (looks like an ashtray), well all of a sudden today mine won't stay closed. I've had it get stuck closed, but never stuck open, how to know exactly where the hinge is? Could it be stuck in the closed position? Or is it a spring or something? I know I could take it to the dealer and have it fixed but I really don't have time to drop it there.
View 5 RepliesAs stated in title, it stays open half way. I was thinking just converting it to none lid one since I always keep it open, and I believe the non closing one would hold more items?
View 2 RepliesMy ashtray opened and now will not close. I can push it in but it opens again. This probably requires me to take it out and I am not sure how to remove the ashtray.
View 3 RepliesMy ashtray has been open for as long as I can remember because when I close it, it rattles. I have a Lariat with the center console. What should be done to fix ashtray rattle, pics would be useful.
View 4 RepliesWhy my ashtray light and the lights next to all four air vents are out. Cigarette lighter is working but the light around it is not??? Maybe a fuse or a bulb???
View 3 RepliesJust picked up my 2012 GTI this morning and noticed the little door on the console storage tray (under the a/c controls) wont stay closed. Any tricks I should know about to close it? Or should I just not worry about it and leave it open....
View 4 RepliesI know this is a minor issue as problems go, but i put coins in my ash trays and just as i placed some coins in the driver ashtray i think one or two of them fell behind the tray and when I placed the tray closed, it closed and will not open. The more i pushed it the more it went in. How do I open this without damaging the wood.
View 1 RepliesI am attempting to install an XM Commander in the ashtray area.
I have Spockat's wires and all the proper stuff, but then realized that I have never tried to pull apart the TReg to expose behind and underneath the console, ashtray and footwell area. There seem to be two main things:
There is a horizontal piece of plastic that runs the length of the side of the center console. At the footwell end of it there is a cut out piece that is locked back into place. I assume this somehow snaps out and allows you to pull off the plastic trim. How this piece removes?
Then just above the gas pedal there is an odd screw that holds the carpeting in place. It has three "holes" in it and it appears it takes a special screwdriver to remove it. Taking this out and pulling back the carpet seemingly would allow me access underneath and behind the center console area which is where I was wanting to place the brain.
I didn't want to start jerking and pulling on pieces hoping that they just "pop apart"...
I have a 2010 Santa Fe. The passenger front door does not close well. It needs a very firm push to latch completely. Regular push and it only catches first click and bounces partially open. I loosened the catch on the jamb, but it seems this is not adjustable.
View 2 RepliesI have a 2011 Santa Fe, I closed my ashtray the other day and now it won't open!!! It has change in it and I expect a coin has jammed it. The door will push in a little just like it normally would to open it but it won't pop open.
View 14 Replies2003 Ford Explorer passenger front window will not close. The window went down and will not go up. Door locks on passenger front side work. When window button is pressed to open, light on button goes out.
No sound when button pushed. All other windows and power work. Recently, I have had to have engine on to open/close same window. I just want the window up,I can live with not opening window.
I had an interesting ride home tonight. I accidentally lowered my front passenger window a little bit and when I tried to raise it I just got a clicking noise. So I drove along hitting the button, hoping the window would close, but it wouldn't. Then, the dash lights and head lights started pulsating/flickering. The engine power wasn't affected and the battery gauge wasn't moving. My vehicle is a 2002 Chevy Trailblazer with 173,0000 miles on it. Replaced the battery a few years back and have had no other electrical problems.

View 6 RepliesI need to do various jobs concerning my center console (I need to change ashtray bulb!!). How to remove it, I've been told to start from the back (removing rear ashtray and cupholder).
View 2 RepliesI've noticed that when I'm seemingly close to an object on the right front, it doesn't set off the tone or show the symbol in that location. I don't know if the sensors on the right front are not working or if the sensitivity there is decreased, or if I'm just not getting too close to anything on the right front (don't think so).
View 2 RepliesI’ve noticed that when I close my C4 passenger front door it makes a chinsey hollow twanging noise. However my driver front door makes a nice high quality and solid thunk.
View 9 RepliesI have a 1991 toyota 4runner with 4wheel drive stick shift and it has been making a loud rrrrrrrrrrrr sound. It seemed like it was coming from the front right wheel or somewhere close to that area, so I checked the brake pads and rotor for rocks or any other object that might have gotten stuck. There was nothing stuck, however I did notice that the boots were ripped. So I changed both front axles and I also replaced the wheel bearing only from where the noise appears to be coming from. The noise is still there. It makes the noise sometimes, if i'm going slow or fast. Other than that, the car drives well.
View 2 RepliesThis is my sway bar and drag link look like with the wheel turned all the way to the right. When I took these pictures, I had put the right tire on the curb too see what it was going too look like. However. Even with all wheels on level ground. It still is running very close. When the steering is straight, I have maybe 1" to 1.5" clearance between the 2. My truck does have a readylift 2.5" level kit on it. Running like this stock or leveled? Should I look around for longer sway bar links?
View 2 RepliesMy GTI is starting to royally p*ss me off. Went to the market and opened/close the hatch. Get home go to close hatch...doesn't engage to shut. I even adjusted the rubber stoppers some to see if that was the issue.
View 9 RepliesJust got my MK4 R32, I'm trying to shut the hood and it just won't close all the way. The hood isn't getting as close to the VW sign as it's supposed to. Is there something i'm missing? What position does the latch have to be when I drop the hood to shut it?
View 7 RepliesHow the rear hatch opens up fully with a click on the remote, but closing it is another matter. Manual says to grab the handle inside and swing down but I can't seem to close it without having to push down on the outer hatch. Is there a trick ???
