How to Remove the Centre Console & EPB Switch.

Yes This is a Big Job...

Step one.........

Remove the Radio surround Trim.





Step two......

Remove the Trim
from the side of the Centre Console
one each side it just Pulls off.









step Three.....

Remove 4 10mm Bolts
2, at the Front and Two at the Rear.









Step Four.........

Remove the Upper Trim
one each side
Again this just Pulls off.





Step Five.......

Pull out the Storage Tray
and undo the Connector
and put it out the way.



Step Six.....

Unplug the Main Harness Connector
for the Centre Console it is Located on the Above Picture
On the Right Hand side.



The Centre Console is now Ready to be Removed from the car
Pull the Centre Console Up at the back & Pull it Away from the Dash  
it has Two Clips at the Front
That need to come out as you Pull the Console back.









The Centre Console is Now out off the car.



Step Seven........

Is to Replace the EPB Button
Turn the Centre Console over
and Remove Three Torque Screws.







Step Eight......
 
Remove the Connector for the EPB.





STEP NINE........

Remove the Harness Clips under The Storage
Tray use some Pliers to Pull the Clips out.





Step Ten.............
 
You can take the Storage Tray
out of the Centre Console.



Step Eleven..........

Remove the EPB Button
just Push the Clips out at the Back
and Swap the EPB over for the New one.







That is it Job Done.....

Now just Put it all back Together
and you have a Nice New EPB Button.





It's a nice Cheap Upgrade & looks a lot Better than the all Black EPB Switch
but yes it is a lot of Work but well Worth it
if you Need any Help just ask Here.

AS WITH ALL ELECTRICAL HOW TOO,S.
you do this at your own risk if you follow the how to correctly
there should be no problems thank you.

Tbh it doesn't even seem that hard (famous last words ha). It just looks drastic as there's a lot to remove. Hope the console is intact and without issues as I got it suspiciously cheap! Haha
