I feel like I've been asking a million question but hopefully they'll slow down soon once I learn all about my new wrangler.
So here's the latest one. My 2004 Wrangler X has the standard center console in it. I only got one key (ignition and door key) with the car and the key doesn't seem to lock/unlock the console. Should I have gotten a different key for this or should the car key lock/unlock the console? The console is usable now as it's not locked but I would like to be able to lock it one day.
Also, the inside of the console is one big area. I thought I saw pictures once where someone had CD's organized inside the console. Should the console have some type of insert to help with organization or is it supposed to be just one big open space?
Thanks again for all your help. Everyone on this site is great and I've found answers to all my questions so far.
I'll try again with my key. It doesn't seem to go all the way into the lock. Maybe someone added the console after market and there really is supposed to be a separate key; who knows.
Stock should have a big open area not sure about the new JK's or After market ones.
I dont lock mine anymore its more of a PITA to lock the thing. The door/ignition key should open it I know mine does but you have to fiddle with it to make it lock.
Dont be afraid to ask lots of questions I still do.
Does your ignition switch work in the glove box lock ? Of all the jeeps I have and have had all only came with a single key that worked doors, console, glove box and ignition. If someone bought a console from someone else who may have upgraded to a big tuffy steel console then the keys won't match, you can take the vin to the dealer and have them get a matching tumbler though, or at least you should be able to. A locksmith can also do it.
I don't think I have ever locked any of my soft top TJ's. Maybe if I had a full tuffy I might lock that but otherwise I never leave anything worth stealing in mine. Hopefully nobody wants my snatch strap and drings under the back seat.
Yea mine is always empty unless im in it, I find it funny they dont think about jacking the doors. Man I would be ticked off if I came out and saw one of my doors gone.
Yeah the center conosole its kind of tricky you have to play with it.
And no worries about the questions,the forums are for lear and share experiences.

Thank you unk: The search button is there for a reason.. :doh: Although i love helping people it does sort of get annoying when you answered a question and the day after some one asks the exact same thing (sometimes even the exact same wording)
Just for the record, in this case, I did do a search to try to find the answer but was unsuccessful.
Thanks again for all the great information. I tried the "jiggle and jam" technique and behold, the console locks and unlocks. I guess brute force just doesn't work all the time. The fact that the key doesn't go in all the way really threw me off as well.
On another forum, someone had a thread asking for advice on buying a Wrangler. After about 5 pages of input / advice from people, someone pointed out that the original post was 3 years old. I did have to laugh at that one.
Hehe Well now the next person that is looking to buy a wrangler has about 5 pages of useful input.. :doh:
