Good this is what I wanted to hear I just need to get the overhead/map light and cover. It looks like I might be able to try and resell whats left.

If you have a sunglasses holder door let me know. The latch on my has broken. Been thinking of trying velcro to hold up in place.

I got the expedition console today. Its the same. I pulled what I needed. I don't have enough posts to post in the for sale. If it's allowed pm me and I can send some pics. It is gray has the rear a/c-heat controls, sunglasses holder(works) and the remote area. Computer also. The light is the same I switched the covers and on/off switch and all is well. I will sell each part or the entire thing.

Looks like you're too new (you need 25 posts) to get PM's but I'm interested in the gray console. Possibly just the housing but maybe everything you've got. email me at *************** (l edited out the address)

Thanks, Jason

I have a 2001 X limited. the on off button for one of my dome/map light was not working. I took it apart and was able to fix it. After putting the whole overhead console back together and testing it the other light button broke! Went in to fix that one but the spring inside was bad. Went to the dealership and they , over course dont have just the plastic button or even the complete conector assembly that has both buttons attached. They said I would have to buy the whole overhead console for 900.00. Come on, 900.00 dollars to fix a 25 cent plastic button!!! Anyone have a old console or even better the connector assembly that has both buttons let me know. If i can find a little spring that I can subsiture for the one inside the plastic button that will work too be cause I am pretty sure I can repair that. Went to radio shack and of course no luck...
