Cup Holder Does Not Stay Closed

SYMPTOM

The cup holder lid no longer latches closed.

PROBABLE CAUSE

CORRECTIVE ACTION

Reposition the hinge pin, and replace the latch pin with the new part listed under PARTS INFORMATION.

1. Remove the cup holder from the console by pulling up on the inside of the cup holder with your fingers.





2. Remove the spring plate.

3. Remove the cup holder lid by inserting a small screwdriver between the cup holder body and the lid on the spring plate side; then, gently pry the lid off the hinge pin.





4. Use a pair of pliers to remove the hinge pin on the spring plate side of the cup holder. Replace the hinge pin if the original is lost (see PARTS INFORMATION).





5. Reinstall the lid on the cup holder body. Make sure the arms on the coil spring are positioned properly.

6. Reinstall the hinge pin removed in step 4. Position the pin so it sticks out approximately 2 mm above the lid.
