'02 center console removal?

[DewMan]

I've used the search, but found no info, If the info is out there in an exisiting thread I apologize in advance for not being able to find it. I've also Google'd for it with no luck. But I did find this great site. :-)

My 2002 Pathfinder needs some mods done to the center console which will require removing it from the vehicle. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to where to start the removal process and how to get it out from under the gear select shifter? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I've not found any exposed screws or clips. Darn fit and finish! ;-) Near as I can tell the only wires to look out for are the ones to the power port inside. Which I feel is in a terrible place, where plugging anything into it is not possible without leaving the lid up BTW.

I've loved everything about my Pathfinder since buying it new except what I noted above.

Thank you for your time.

start with the little plastic piec under the parking break - I have an LE which doesn't have the 4wd shift lever (have all mod 4wd with electric switch...), so I just pulled the piece up that surrounds the shifter and on the left of the shifter... once that is up (just pops off - held on by clips) I think you have access to a bunch of hold down screws...

Thanks Squam1, I'll give it a try. Thanks for your help.
