JimH,

This is what I am thinking. Where do you insert coat hanger to prop the damper door?

I removed the footwheel panel but could not see any damper/flap to pry open. I don't want to disassemble the center console ever again.

Thanks

But then, my threshold of adventure was fairly low, and you may have better luck.
