REMOVE SHIFTER BEZEL JAGUAR X-TYPE - 2004 Jaguar X-Type

remove the center console
look for bolts in the console at the back in the bottom and screws in the sides covered by plastic buttons

Don't think so. Buy new part and latch mechanism should be apparent. I think they just "pop" into place.

Hi Melissa, I'm glad to help, here is the instruction below I said I'd send. Have an awesome day.

I assume you mean the pieces that slide along with your automatic transmission's shifter? Those are called blinds, they're part of your shifter bezel.

To replace your bezel, you have to remove your center console. It's only nine screws. Here's a good writeup on the process: http://www.wjjeeps.com/console.htm

This is a relatively common problem on these new Chryslre 300s.The failure is in the shifter assembly itself and it will need to be replaced. But for now, to limp around, you can actually still shift the car, you just cannot use the shifter.You will need to remove the center console and find where the shift linkage attaches to the shifter assembly. Remove the linkage and you can manually shift until you replace the shifter assembly.Here is how to remove the center console:

Apply the parking brake.Turn the ignition switch to the On position, apply the service brakes and place the gear selector lever into the Neutral position.Turn the ignition switch to the Off position and release the service brakes.Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.Remove the mat (2) from the cubby bin at the front of the floor console.Open the lid of the console rear bin and remove the mat (3) from the rear bin.Remove the two screws (1) that secure the front of the console shifter bezel to the console.Using a trim stick unsnap the console bezel from the console.Remove the shifter bezel from around the gear selector lever.

Remove the three 8 mm bolts (2) from the rear bin that secure the console to the floor panel transmission tunnel.Remove the two screws (3) that secure the front of the console to the instrument panel.Slide the console rearward far enough to access and disconnect the jumper wire connector (4) from the accessory power outlet on the underside of the console.Remove the floor console from the vehicle.-------------- Thankyou.

In the back of the low bulb unit, is a round cover, turn it to remove it, then you have access to the bulbs, you´ll need patience large and thin fingers. I suggest you to buy the bulb first and a good quality one, because you´ll need to work on this with a cold engine.

in that transmission shifter assembly, there should be a solenoid that is responsible for once the shifter is in park it releases the lock in the steering column. either its not hooked up or not adjusted properly.

Pretty easy, no tools required if you have strong nails :)

First open the center console lid.

Grab the back edge of the trim panel where it stops at the top of the console box and pull upward.
Work your way to the front disengaging the clips by lifting up.
When you get to the front, unhook the connector from the 12V outlet and the heated seats buttons (if equipped).
Set the trim panel aside

To remove the round trim around the shifter (likely not necessary)
Remove philips screw from shift knob and lift shift knob off shaft.
Lift round shift trim bezel off by disengaging 4 clasps located low at corners of bezel.
Disconnect illumination bulb from bezel and set bezel aside for cleaning

During install, make sure the shift trim is inserted into shaft so the indicator will line up.

pull up on the shifter bezel and then remove the 4 screws that hold the little tray by the shifter on and then pull really hard on the bezel that contains the 4 way switch and then its out,,you gotta disconnect the wires also

With the car started press on the brake pedal. Listen carefully for a "Click" sound coming from under the gear shift cover. If you do not hear one you will need to test the brake pedal switch, if you hear a click then most likely the lock somehow became disconnected from the solenoid. Remove the shifter cover and the assemble is can be seen for troubleshooting and repair.
