I need to gain access to the C-12A connector that lives under center console below the shifter. Has anyone removed the center console? It looks like I might be able to gain access by pulling up the coin tray, but I don't want to break any clips. Hard to tell by looking at the parts diagram.
Thanks,
JP

Use a trim tool to pry it off.

Cool, thanks alarmist! Where'd you find the diagram?

You've come up with some (more of these) great diagrams on other threads -- door panels, pillars, etc. Thanks!

Ok, found the C-12A plug and it is easily accessible under the tray. So it looks like for my LED lights I can just run a power wire off one of the 20A upfitter switch's under the seat, under the floor mat, up under the console to one of the pass through wires on the C-12A. Then I can wire my lights to the other end of that pass through in the engine bay, grounding to the factory ground in the left front fender. Of course things never seen to be that easy, so we'll see.

If you do not find the C-12A plug where JP4 shows it, perhaps look behind the steering column, high on the firewall, maybe stuck behind a large wire bundle. It appears on my 2015 (produced in Nov of 2014), that the bundle was too short and could not be installed as described. Got my fog lights finished today based on JP4's plan and description. Thanks for the info.
