Joe St Paul Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 (edited) 2010 Ford Fusion SE. I need to replace my storage dash compartment, the lid cover hinge broke. But there's 3 wires holding the storage compartment from allowing me to remove it from the dash. The hazard light wire, and the air bag light indicator. But there's a 3rd Black wire holding the compartment to the dash underneath. Can anyone tell me what it is and how to disconnect it. Thanks in advance for your help !

Grampy Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 (edited) The "flat, black, stiff, wire lookin gizmo" is not a wire, it is called the "Tether", why is it there? I have NO idea.. The other end (of this tether) is under the dash behind the steering wheel, toward the passenger side. It is hard to find, but once you see it, you will realize it can't be anything else. It is a bright nut holding the other end of the tether.. the service manual makes it sound like if you remove the nut the tether will come right off.. (my experience on my 2010 Milan, is it is a total PITA to get it off the bolt). I wish you luck. Edited October 22, 2022 by Grampy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
