If the vehicle has internal 12V power port mounted in the OEM console insert: (Illustrated #27.13 – Fig 1)
18. Vehicles which feature 12V power port (Illustrated #27.13 - Fig 1) will need to remove the 12V power port.
19. Unplug the wire harness from the 12V power port and feed the wiring harness down through the bottom of the OEM
console. OEM console may need to be lifted up slightly to reach the 12V power port.
20. Remove the 12V power port from the OEM console insert by pressing it out from the rear. Using the palm of your
hand, pop the power port firmly from the rear and into the console compartment. Take care not to damage the clips on
the side of the power port. 12V power port will be reused.
21. With all accessories removed and all wiring harnesses loose through the bottom of the OEM console, the console
(#27.30.1) should be free to be removed. Unclip the (1) metal spring clip retainer (Illustrated in Fig 1) at the front
middle of the console (at the shifter housing). Lift the console up and out of the vehicle. Lift the rear up first then
maneuver the front up over the emergency parking brake and shift levers.
22. With the console removed from the vehicle, remove and save the OEM front rubber cup holder insert (Illustrated
#27.30.2 – Fig 1) by popping out of the retainers at the bottom. Front rubber cup holder will be reused.

If you are installing a Stereo, CB, or other electronic equipment in the console:
23. Run all the required stereo and speaker wires to the console mounting location. Tuffy recommends running wires in a
protective wire loom and using rubber grommets when passing through any drilled holes. ATTENTION: Refer to
your electronics owner’s manual for instructions on how to mount and wire your electronics.
Stereo mounting note: If a stereo is to be mounted in the console an antenna extension wire will be required and is
available at most stereo equipment stores.
CB mounting note: Tuffy recommends mounting an external CB speaker. These are available at most electronics
supply stores.
