If any one of the four pins are missing, they can be ordered through the Warranty Parts Center (WPC) using the form at the end of this bulletin.

Request the WPC# for the appropriate pin length.

Important

Pull the console rear cover out just enough to access the four screws holding the ashtray/bin housing to the cover. The mode actuator

cable should remain attached to the cover.

2. Remove the four ashtray/bin screws from the rear cover.

3. Disconnect the outlet electrical connector and the harness retaining clip from the housing.

4. Remove the ashtray/bin assembly.

5. Reassemble the inner ashtray/bin door into the housing track guides and damper gear using the steps below:

1. Start by sliding the two lower metal pivot pins (1) on the ashtray/bin door into the track guides inside the housing. Then slide the upper

two metal pins into the housing.

2. From the back side of the housing, rotate the damper gear so the U-shaped guide aligns with the pivot pin on the back side of the inner

ashtray/bin.
