latch for 05 center console

So my dog took to chewing on the center console right before I deployed to afghanistan. No biggy she just broke the latch that hold the console closed on my 05 tacoma right?? I was just gonna have it fixed while I am gone. NOPE the part (so I am told) is like 300 bucks. I havent spent any money for 6 months but I still refuse to pay 300 bucks for a little tab and spring that you push in to open the console. Any idea were to order a new one. My old man has checked junk yards ect but funny thing, Its damn hard to find an 05 tacoma in a junk yard. Go figure. Any ideas???

 

try looking for a 06-09 ............I assume they have the same center console dont they?

 

mines broke as well the other week. I am actually waiting to hear back from my buddy david. he works for toyota and hopefully he can hook it up...

i'll keep you guys posted either way...on the part #'s and price...

 

check out: http://car-part.com

Search for interior parts - then call some of the places that pop up - should be able to get one from them

It's a great resource and saves a ton of time calling around

 

here is the part # for the latch and the inner spring that pushes the latch back out to its locking position...I'm trying to call my buddy who works for toyota to see how much the part is cause its not listed on any toyota parts website that I have searched...

part # for latch for center console: 58952-AD010

hope this helps you guys out...

that link you posted above bro works pretty well...but when trying to figure out actual specified parts and their part #'s I have an easier way...thanks though good looking out...

 

See the thread I created, Center Compartment Latch Repair.

 

My 2006 broke also.
Dealership said I had to buy the entire console ($300) just to get a latch.

Here's how I fixed mine:

Open console lid, remove 5 screws holding inner cover on. That will expose the 2 screws holding the latch to the lid.

Once the latch and holder is out, you'll see 2 slots in the holder. I went to Home Depot and bought 2 #4 self tapping screws. Replace push button into holder to mark where to pre-drill holes to install screws. I had to shorten the screws with a bolt cutter, and leave the screws loose enough so the release button slides easily in/out of the holder. I got a replacement spring (no idea where my original one went when the latch broke) that fits over the pin on the release button.

Reinstall, and you should be good to go .
