Hello,

To get to the lid switch, first remove the plastic ends on your console (If you have them). Remove the two screws at each end if the front console and pull the console slightly forward and then flip it back and it will just rest there. Unplug the lid switch plug that was under the console. Remove the the two spring clips by sticking a straight screwdriver in them and pushing the handle of the screwdriver back towards the console. Now, to remove the cabinet stand in front of it and grab each side and rock it forward and the whole cabinet will come out as one piece. The lid switch is located inside the cabinet. I hope this info helps you.
