Interior - Center Console
Disclaimer: your 928 interior may be hacked differently than mine
and contain more or less screws, bolts, clips, and various other parts.
- Move seats to rear most position.
- Raise steering wheel/pod to upper most position.
- Disconnect the battery ground strap (in rear hatch).
- Remove the passenger storage shelf.
- Remove the three bolts on the glovebox hinge (just above the
storage shelf) and remove the door.
- Remove the two screws at the top of the glovebox, and the two
screws holding the latch.
- Disconnect the pushbutton switch for the glovebox light.
- Pull glovebox liner out, disconnect the "Bier-kühler" a/c hose,
and remove liner.
- Remove the HVAC duct.
- Remove the accelerator kick panel and the side carpet panels from the
center console. There is one screw at the rear, and zero to three
other screws near the front.
- Disconnect the wiring for the driver's window switch.
- Remove your radio and hope you don't find a snake pit of a PO's hack
wiring harness like mine.
- Pull the center vent grill straight out.
- Carefully pry out the "H" bezel surrounding the a/c head.
- Remove the six screws surrounding the a/c head and information module.
- Pull out the a/c head and info module together.
- Disconnect the wiring. The a/c head on the driver's side has a multi-pin
plug and an edge connector. The info module has a connector behind the a/c
button, and two flat cable connectors on the passenger side.
- Remove the two side screws at the bottom of the console.
- Remove the two bolts at the top of the console inside the center vent.
- Remove the console bolt inside the glovebox.
- Remove the shifter. For the A/T: pull the rubber boot up, remove
the two side screws, and pull the handle straight up.
- At this point you can work the console out and lay it over to the
passenger side. For complete removal, disconnect the wiring for
everything else - passenger window, sunroof, hatch wiper, interior temp
sensor, clock, rear A/C controls, lighter, ashtray bulb.
