ok so my friend said i should post up a diy on the whole ford taurus and mercury sable coin and cup holder


here it is:


ok first off go to your local junkyard and either go to a 92 to 95 mercury sable or go to a 92 to 95 ford taurus

your going to be looking for these:
Image

ok now after you picked which one you wanted to take it out:

there is two clips on both sides squeeze these one by one and pull while squeezing sorry for (no pics on junkyard part)
Image

after you got it most of the way out you will find that it gets stuck
this being there is a slider clip underneath
Image

i just wedged a screwdriver under the piece and on top of the plastic holding it in and pried it out

ok now you have it out..... yay congrats :woot:




now i'll put this in anyway but not sure if anyone will use it!

I took mine apart to clean it so it could open and shut better

how to:
look through the hole in the back when both the cup and coin are out as far as they can go this i what you will see
Image
Image

see the clip that holds it in

next remove top one first by wedging somthing btw the coin holder and the plastic that surrounds it
Image

do the same for the bottom when the top one is removed
Image

ok now clean it.... let it dry or hand dry it w.e

put it back together.... dont worry they just slide in make sure you put in bottom first

next it's time to put it in the car


when i put this in my wiring harness for the radio and other things were in the way.... and kept the whole thing from going in so i cut the piece like this to make it to where the whole thing just slides in


first cut the tabs off the bottom
Image

then cut the side tabs off
Image

then cut the pieces that come out the back.....
cut a 1/2 inch of each off end
then cut cup and coin on left hand side another inch back, leave the track
ImageImage

it will look like this when your all done
Image
Image


the way i cut it makes it to where the wiring harness doesnt have to be moved you might have to pop the zip tie clip out though if it still hitting and the cup and coin will rest inside the dash peacefully

I had a random taurus in my yard but no jdm consol.. dicided that since i dont have a heater core i would just move my radio up to where the heater controls were and now i have room for cupholders and radio.(not recomended for a DD.
