Chrysler Pacifica Center Console Removal

[@casals81]

2018 Pacific, popped off the covers at the bottom, two bolts on each side, took off with 1/4 inch rachet with 10 mm socket. No need to take off seats. Two bolts in front easy to take off. Took a while to unhook the wires. Great to have that console out of there. I keep bins between the seats, Holds everything that I would want on a trip.

Thanks for the reassurance. I'm shopping for a van for a daily driver (not much of that, we're retired) and occasional short trips, even light camping. The full-size ones have a lot of room but get awful gas mileage. I'm thinking a 2018 non plug in hybrid for sale locally might work if we can step to the back between the seats without going outside. So I'm making sure the console will come out. I verified the middle row seats snap out, since they don't stow and go on the hybrid (but the 3rd row seats do stow and go.) I would like a plug in hybrid, but there are quite a few scary stories from drivers describing their plug in Pacifica shutting down on the highway, and no help from Chrysler. As an elderly woman with 2 dogs and a handicapped husband in the car I'll wait until they sort that out.

Yeah that was great fun. Especially taking those back bolts out lol.. Can't have that console there. The dog likes to sit there in the old van on a custom cushioned bench i made him and he wasn't having that console there in the new van. Soon as i put his bench in the Pacifica he jumped right up onto it. Seems like they don't make trucks or vans anymore without a center console. Or even just the old bench style seats would be a nice option. Oh well i got it done. I put in a piece of carpet over the opening there as well.

Wow Thanks I just bought this problem😢. I didnt expect that much of a challenge. Summoning patience😂

[@valerieperez5428]

Thank you for sharing. You would think with sooo many people having this issue over the years they would make this part easier to access!

[@valerieperez5428]

Mine is a 2020 for peps searching

[@Crash-hq6rt]

I haven’t had to do this on my 2020. Don’t have the unconnect theater on my newer van. Chrysler might have done an update to it but I’m not sure

[@douglasmostyn1809]

Magic Mike broke my Pacifica! The video was a huge help. Thanks!

[@507tino]

thanks for the video. I look foward on extracting Toy Story 4 from my Pacifica. Brilliant engineering by Chrysler.

[@Crash-hq6rt]

507tino we had way too many dvd in the drawer

[@DanLoFat]

Well hopefully this was your first of many videos because you've obviously learned the technique of never doing it never holding the camera in one hand while you're trying to use and need to use both hands to do the work, you've learned to invest in a tripod I'd suggest anywhere from 40 to 100 dollars the higher end range is going to give you a wheelbase in a floating head the lower end range is going to give you stability they're both going to give you stability. But currently this video watching it is as frantic as your daughter was when she hastily and hilariously ran away pretending to be scared. Brilliant work good acting skills there.

[@LeslieJayBoschPhoto]

an hour to do it. A week to recover from the stroke watching your video. My god put the camera down. Jesus.

[@ChristopherHunt-h7o]

Had this problem today. used tape on a flexible cord and was able to grab the DVD and slide it back out. Didn't have to take anything off

[@paulf462]

I saw a video to pop off the top cup holder cap part, unscrew 4 screws (on top and easy to get to) then cut a hole in the plastic to just stick your hand down in there and grab it. the hole is 100% concealed under the top compartment

[@Crash-hq6rt]

I didn’t want to do that and wasn’t sure if I could still reach dvd

[@ditchranemanable]

This was helpful. I also found removing the inner seat trim panels gave me a bit more room.

[@BrightRedStar]

Is it possible to remove the center console and keep it away permanently so I could easily physically move from the front seat to the back seat?

[@TheClimb511]

0:50 Yeah, Dad! We don't have any fishing line! How are we suppose to get the DVD out now? 😄

[@russtinker7606]

Did you skip the removal part?

[@Crash-hq6rt]

I just shook it out

[@drscooter86]

Thank you! I now know what to do.

[@amateurstl193]

How did you get the bezel of of the covered compartment right behind the cup holder?

[@Crash-hq6rt]

Amateur STL the what? Maybe attach pic

[@amateurstl193]

I went a different route. Thanks for responding.

[@nathanwright9870]

Nope. Pull the side panel off. Just snaps off then you can fish it out. Snap it back on. 15 minutes max

[@Crash-hq6rt]

Post a video my man. I’m all about easy

[@lotempevzner-leibovitz447]

can you post a video? A necklace fell behind the top part. How do i take it out?

[@FireMrshlBill]

@@lotempevzner-leibovitz447 you ever figure out? I had a small metal piece on top cover that fell behind it when it was opened, now I can hear it rattling around while driving. Under the covered compartment and above the drawer area

[@cacvpc]

Ugh. Why isn't that console more removable? Wasn't it in the newer T&C's. Gah.

[@Crash-hq6rt]

cacvpc I’m not sure if it’s any different on my 2020 model but it seems to happen to enough people that FCA needs an update

[@cacvpc]

@@Crash-hq6rt - yeah. Our DVD case went down there, too. 🤦‍♀️ I test drove a 2014 Town & Country before I decided to get a Pacifica, and the T&C's console was removable. Idk why they decided to remove that feature.

[@nathanwright9870]

Nope. Pull off side panel. Just snaps off. Very easy.

[@nancypeters3679]

Dude, your camera angles are so far off that I can’t see what you are doing most of the time.

[@Crash-hq6rt]

@@nancypeters3679 not easy with a phone in your hand But you can do it It’s not hard

[@shane4494]

Here's an easier way to access those two bolts on each side from underneath the seat. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jp6yqKN5lKZ1i68

[@letsdostuff7767]

Posted a vid of how we were able to just pop 2 panels off without having to do all this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qorCin2brNWDi68
