Q: How to remove the center console on Lincoln MKX?
A: For 2010 and earlier models, raise the seats to their highest position and slide them forward, then remove the two rear console bolts and slide the seats back. Use a trim removal tool to carefully pry out the left and right side trim panels from the console, followed by removing the two front console bolts on each side. For Edge models, pry loose the console finish panel/cup holder, while for MKX models, remove the storage bin's plastic push-type rivets, disconnect the power socket, and remove the console-to-instrument panel bolts. Lift the console and disconnect all electrical connectors before removing it, with installation being the reverse of removal. For 2011 through 2014 models, apply the parking brake, place the shift lever in neutral, slide the front seats back, and recline them fully. Use a trim tool to pry off the console edge trim on both sides, then remove the four mounting screws from the shift lever trim panel and disengage the boot tabs. Remove the left and right side trim panels, ensuring to protect the console with cardboard or a rag. Unclip the ambient light harness and remove the finish panel. For MKX models, pry off the H-shaped console trim and remove the upper and lower trim panels. Remove the shift cable from the shift lever and bracket, disconnect electrical connectors, and remove the console mounting bolts before lifting the console from the rear. For 2015 and later models, disconnect the parking brake switch electrical connector to reset the EPB system. For 2015 through 2018 Edge models, remove the left and right floor console side trim panels and the U-shaped trim, then carefully pry out the console side trim panel. Remove the shift console/cup holder trim panel, storage compartment fasteners, and disconnect electrical connectors. Remove the shifter handle screws, disengage the retaining clips around the shift lever bezel, and remove the floor console support fasteners. Pry the storage bin upper trim panel, disconnect the electrical connector, and remove the center console mounting bolts. For 2019 Edge models, open the floor console storage armrest, disengage the retaining clips around the shift console/cup holder trim panel, and disconnect electrical connectors. Pry out the console side trim panel, disengage the storage bin edge trim fasteners, and remove the storage compartment fasteners. Remove the gear shift module console frame fasteners, disconnect electrical connectors, and remove the center console mounting bolts. For 2016 and later MKX models, open the floor console storage armrest, disengage the retaining clips around the floor console/cup holder trim panel, and disconnect electrical connectors. Remove the left and right floor console upper side trim panels, pry out the USS/media port trim, and disconnect electrical connectors before removing the center console mounting bolts.
