pull the center console off, open the console and two 10 mm nuts at the back under the little covers. The traction control button part just pops up with a flat head screwdriver. 2 more nuts under there. disconnect 3 wires from console(fuel door wire will be easy to get once you're actually pulling the console out)
Pull ash tray out, turn key on and put in low gear...two torx screws behind ash tray..one more next to the little thing by your ignition itself(the little "vent" looking square black plastic part) another torx is behind this thing.
Just slide the console backwards a few inches, make sure all wires are disconnected and pull it up and out. Then give a little tug to the radio surround piece, there are clips that hold it up top and around the sides that just un clip by pulling. Dont' forget the 12V plug in connection.
Then the fog light/hatch button assembly itself just prys out with a little screw driver...one more screw behind there. Two more down below where you're knees are if you're sitting in the drivers seat on the bottom of the knee bolster/panel.
That's it.
Do you need the dash off too?
