Attaching the Remote Fuel Door Console Switch??????
Installed some interior pieces the other day and during the console and main dash trim bezel remove/install process, I managed to disconnect the fuel door switch connector located on the underside of the console. Here comes the fun, I can't for the life of me reattach this connector due to the limited clearance. If I had hands of a three year old, perhaps, but such is not the case. I may not be looking at things correctly, so I need your help. If you have removed and re-installed this connector, please lend me a hand; I do appreciate your help! Thanks.

I have the same issues.
Only can offer you patience.
Place the console on the center console, tilt the drivers side and place your hand with the switch into the corner where is connects (plugs in at 90 degree angle).
That's how I've done it 3 or 4 times.
I have never have tried to install it from the passenger side.

Done it many times and I don't have small hands. From the driver's seat, hold the console so it is resting on it's front, over the connector, with the back end raised up and resting on your right arm/shoulder with both your arms under the console. Hold the connector by it's sides with one or both hands with the release clip facing down. Maneuver the connector toward the switch and slide it towards you. It should contact the switch and then click quietly into place.
The first couple of times it was a pain but it's got easier after that.
