    I love that you are up Ldub, its perfect for my late night ponderings and postings haha. When you get a chance could you snap a pic of your switches?

    Good walkthrough too, did you have to remove the seats to get the all the screws? I think I found the center console removal on the manual, so that should help too.

    Graveyard shift has it's advantages, though few & far between...
    I'll see what I can do in the next day or two on the pics.

    Nope, just move em all the way forward & look on either side of the console...you'll see the rear screws.
    Can't remember right now all the other locations, but I remember it wasn't too hard to figure out the first time I did it.

    you have to start with the very back of the console (the piece with the armrest).

    there are two screws at the base of the back of the console, about even with the hinge for the armrest

    the next two are gold and are located towards the front of the "cupholder" but along the sides of the console

    once those are removed, pull the e-brake and lift the back of the console, reach under and disconnect the wiring harness that powers the mirror switches

    you should be able to pull the armrest portion of the center console off, there are two "hooks" that attach it to the front peice around the shifters, jus be careful not to break them.

    after thats removed there will be two exposed screws at the rear of the shifter console and two on the side towards the dashboard.

    from there i dunno whats under there anymore, i removed the shifter plate and all that stuff under there.. which leaves a whole ton of room for switches on my vx!
