    Thanks for explaining why the roll bar is in there. Makes sense to keep the console lock in the vertical position....

    This is my problem! Thought it was rivited and didnt know how to get at internal to clean and wd40. I ordered a replacement middle section and lid in much better shape than mine set me back $190. This gets me going and a lil smarter on my new to me 2002 Silverado 1500. I'll check harder for videos like this in the future before buying replacements. All good! Thanks!

    Thanks for putting this video out! Just finished installing the air bag controller and went to get psi gauge out to check it couldn't open the lid. So glad to find this video.

    You just saved me some money as I got one for free for a project because it was "stuck" shut. Now it's like new and I didn't spend a dime.

    Wow. This worked for me and saved me money. Thank you. Good easy video. When you search for "how to fix gm center console latch" the majority of results are of the next generation 08+ .... So thank you for being the leading result in this generation.

    Thank you so much. My Paw Paw gave me my truck and I love it, but I’ve never used my center console in about five years of having it because that latch kept sticking and I didn’t wanna deal with it. I finally decided to Google my problem and your video was great. Thank you much!

  • @randallmumper4821
    @randallmumper4821 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you for posting this. Our's got stuck and I had absolutely no idea of how the lock mechanism work and had tried almost every trick in the book to get it opened. Banging on the lock never came to mind. It is plastic and that's the last thing I would have tried until your video. The problem with the lock was a small salt package from McD's got stick in the lock. It works perfectly now after removing the pack and WD-40.

    What worked for me was just using spray grease to lubricate the contact points and pivot points and the latch works fantastic now! I didn't modify anything and I didn't repair anything.

  • @jacobmidwest1974
    @jacobmidwest1974 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    At 2:23 that is a piece of the clip. When prying make sure to be careful because the plastic clips break very easily. Of the 4 I had 1 break. Once you get it all cleaned out hit clean all the metal contact surfaces of the latch, then clean out all that you can. Once you clean the roller and latch my latch started working perfectly, thank you for the video it was very helpful👍

    @stevenbaxter8452 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Not their best design.
    So the clips broke? I'd like to avoid that. Thinking there might be a way to get some WD in there prior for the lids that refuse to open 'til it can be properly serviced.

    How about lithium spray instead of WD-40? I find it usually works better and is more slippery . Thanks for the vid! We could have done without the commentary on why you couldn't find your tools and kept to the point of showing us how to crack open the console.

    This guy is a jag. He broke the clips prying it out, edited that part out, and does a cute story about losing his multi tool. Then while telling his story he pretended to pry it out. "In case you guys couldn't see that". Oh, it's already out with broken clips. Go elsewhere to find the proper way
