How to fix tacoma center console lock / latch using wire hanger:

Center console repair process
Note:
Go to step 1 if you need temporary fix of spring from getting lost while using lock in broken state if you’re not able to do the repair at this time. When opening and closing the lid, make sure you guard the lock with your finger to prevent it from jumping out of the case/track.

If you’re ready for the repair then proceed with the next steps.
Tools to use:
• No. 2 Philips screw driver
• Fine tip Marker or any
• Pick tool or nail (for pilot hole on plastic)
• Drill
• Drill bit (smaller than wire hanger to use. See step 6. 1)
• Pliers (regular and needle/long nose)
• Channel Lock Pliers
• Screw driver with square rod
• vise to hold lock part when drilling

Materials to use:
• wire hanger (pick the right size see step 6.1)
• spring (from a pen) – (if you lost the original one)
• Grease – optional -(lithium or silicone)

STEPS:
1. Preset spring to lock part by bending one end to fit into protrusion- use long nose pliers (this will prevent spring from getting detached and lost while doing the repair or while waiting for a good time to do the repair)
2. Put back lock part in the case/track
3. Mark best flush position on lock part as reference (lock to lid flushness) (Test for a smooth engaging of lock without excessive retracting effort vs fully locked position, depress for negative clearance if necessary and mark this)
4. Remove console back cover
5. Remove lock assembly (consists of lock part and case/track)
6. Modify lock assembly
• 6.1 Pick the thickest wire hanger and drill bit combination available based on the track width
• 6.2 Mark holes to drill for the wire hanger along the original tab location in reference to mark in step 2 (either use original broken tabs location or advance the new locations based on the mark on step 2- your goal is to have effortless but effective closing of the console)
• 6.3 create pilot holes with a pick or small nail on the drill location
• 6.4 Drill holes slightly smaller than the wire hanger and sample test pushing the wire in the hole halfway to prime the hole in rotational motion left and right then pull out. Use pliers.
• 6.5 Measure and Precut the final lengths of wire hanger for each side
• 6.6 Insert the lock part to the case/track
• 6.7 Push cut wire hanger through the case/track onto the drilled hole of the lock part (use pliers in pushing) (then finally use channel lock pliers and a square rod screwdriver to fully depress the wires flush to case/track)
• 6.8 Test smoothness of operation of spring action
• 6.9 Optional: Spray lubricant before final installation to ctr console (lithium or silicone)
7. Install lock assembly on car ctr console
8. test operation
9. Install back cover
Enjoy!
