How-To?? main console removal
so i have to install some wiring and get to the 12 volt source in the dash right above the ash tray. i saw a how to here https://www.f150online.com/forums/sh...+radio+install
(just for clarification i mean the trim aorund the ac controls, head unit, and 12 volt connection)
but i have the reverse sensing system and the digital auto a/c and he doesnt so i dont know if theres anything holding back to doing it the same was as him. i tried pulling the "wood grain trim" up just as he did but it didnt come off and i dont want to break anything. i got the center console shifter top area off jsut like he did and the side vent panels just cant get that one piece
thanks

Pull the woodgrain piece off and you will then be able to unplug your AC cluster, backup sensor, and cig lighter from the back of it....they will have several inchs of wire so it wont be an issue pulling it out and unplugging them. Mine has been in and out a hundered times...nothing to it.
