Hi,

I was doing so investigation about the 2 plugs tap next to the hand break. I removed on and it accidently dropped into the hole. Now, I can not find it. Do you know how to get it out? Thank you for your helps.

Ok I did the same thing....



Get a MagLite
A Pen or something similar.. long and thin...
Reverse a piece of tape on the end... and secure the tape with another piece of tape...

Then Probe that sticky stick in there until you pull out the cap.

Good Luck

Thank you for the reply. The problem is that I cannot see the tap. I think I am going to use the vaccum to suck the tap to the place where I can see it. Than use your suggestion to get it out. Thank you.

You may want to put like a wire mesh or net over the end of the vaccum, and then it would just be sucked up against the the mesh instead of being sucked all the way in.

Does anybody know how to just remove the center console? I was looking at the cap myself and dropped it in. Before I was able to fish it out I was considering taking the console off. I gave up, and was able to get the cap.

I would still like to know how to remove it though.
