I have read here that a problem with the coin tray door not staying closed is common, and that the cause is wear on a latch (part # 77297-SJA-003). Has anyone posted a how-to on getting the tray out of the console to do the replacement?

Thanx for any help.

That video shows how to remove the radio. Just stop when you get the coin tray out!

Beekermartin, Thank you for your beautifully done video. Before I opened the forum this morning, I was able to remove the tray, but I appreciate your help!

I am bookmarking your video for future reference.

Have a great holiday week-end,
Ed

I didn't shoot the video. I just posted the link but your welcome.

Wow, thanks! Mine just stopped closing about two weeks ago. Got into the car after work one day, and it was wide open. Seems really simple to replace!

I'd like to thank you as well! I also need to replace mine and didn't want to pay the $$ the dealer was asking. Great video.

He misses one step in his video, which is removing the light from the back of the ashtray. There is a bit of slack in the wire so pull it out and twist the light housing, comes right out.

Also, unrelated to this repair, my car had bolts holding the radio, not Phillips head screws as he shows. So if you are looking for screws, be prepared, they may be different.

That was worth the price of admission. Great information Now I know how to get at the ashtray to get at all those loose papers and junk that is left on top of the ashtray cover by my other driver (wife) that falls down behind the lid. Thank you for posting that!

Can some please verify the part number listed in the first post of this thread is correct. Part# 77297-SJA-003 according the drawing on Acurapartsforless.com is for the power port latch. I replaced that already. I need the latch for the coin door and it appears 77237-SJA-003 is the correct part for the coin door. I don't want to order the wrong one.

First post is correct.

Thanks for confirming the latch is the same as the power plug. For some strange reason that doesn't appear to be correct according to the console drawings on most Acura parts websites.

My light doesn't turn on. I took out the whole unit and took a look at the light, but I have no idea how to replace it. It looks like one piece with the wire.
