How do I take off the panel below the cubby hole?

This one here

I want to put a switch in that blank spot but not sure how to take off that part of the panel

 

Hammer

 

The whole piece circled in red pops off. insert a small regular screwdriver and just pop it.

 

You should be able to reach under the dash and just pop that blank spot out and throw a rocker switch right in place.

 

I assume you are running wires to install a switch.

Mictuning makes a switch that fits in the slot on the right.

Thanks. The switch I bought is too big to fit in there, I'll be ordering one of those tonight

 

or this

 

Does anyone know the part number to this cubby? I need to order a new one.

 

Carefully wedge the corners loose with a flathead, then stick your hand in the opening, press down and pull outward. It will pop out. Not too hard to accomplish.

Might want to make a post. A lot of people took it out for more switch room. I took mine out a few years ago. Sold it though otherwise I would give to you

 

Appreciate it, thanks!

 

Go to harbor freight and get a set of plastic trim removal tools. That way you won’t scuff the dash.
