Center Console
Hey everybody. Need some help finding a part for my '93 Ranger. My center console doesnt latch anymore and i'd like to know if anyone has one? The new one's are like $300, and the junkyards want at least $100. Mine's gray, but any color will do really. I just want it to work. Lemme know if you have one maybe, or If you know someone parting out a truck or something. Thanks

That was a design flaw - IMO - and the same thing happened to my 94 years ago. If someone sits on the center console - it can push the plastic latch down so hard that it snaps. I tried glue then epoxy - never would stay. Finally I got a extra-long tie-wrap - and that now holds it closed and doesn't look too terribly ugly.
I imagine that my ex-wife - who got the truck in the divorce years ago - still uses it that way.

You might want to think about replacing it with an Explorer console.
There are a couple of websites where guys have cut the foam out of the driver's seat and put an Explorer center console in it's place.
Take a look here and look for the 60/40 seat mod:

Personally, if I were looking at spending that kind of money on replacing my center console, I would go for this mod.

I've done this modification. Very easy to do. Pics in gallery.
I picked up my 2000 Explorer center console from the local junk yard for 60 bucks. Near perfect condition.
Only thing that didn't line up was at the back of the console. Had to drive in a couple self tapping screws in the back to hold to the floor.
