Take a small flat head screw driver, and pry out the plastic "knock out" plate to the right of your clock. Once you do this, the wires that you need to plug into the switch will be connected to the back of the "knock out" plate you just pried out. Take the connector and push it into your switch, then push the switch in where the plastic "knock out" plate used to be.

have you taken off the wood molding yet? Normally a lot easier to pop that switch out when the console is off. Could also be that your screw driver isn't slim enough. Try using a putty knife.

You'll need a screwdriver the size used for glasses or watches.

You can also try using a straight pin (for sewing).

Good luck! You're sooooo close to being done!!!!


EDIT: Look closely, there may be a small notch to allow the blade of the screwdriver to fit in.

Cool!

I'm glad you got them working!

Door sills are pretty easy to install. The only issue is if you'll need to glue them or not. My double sided tape wouldn't keep them in place.
