Julianne Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 The center console beverage holder cover of my 400h is stuck in the down position. Usually opens with just a slight amount of downward pressure on the cover; however, no amount of pressure will cause it to open. Certain it has a spring loaded mechanism; however, there does not appear to be any way to gain access to determine the problem. Any ideas on how to resolve this problem?

cduluk Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Taking that center console apart is a real b!#(h... Removing it is easy, but getting to it (and removing) the mechanical springs and gears inside for that cover requires a lot of patience!

steve04rx Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Can anyone share procedure for opening/resetting the center beverage console in a 2004 RX330? Mine is also stuck in the closed position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Thibs Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 The gear on the cover has 8 teeth. On mine, one tooth broke so when it jams shut I have to push it (lightly) 8 times before it opens again. As stated earlier, accessing and replacing the gear is a real pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
