The center console compartment release button on some 2023-2025 Corvette models may become stuck in the depressed position or may extend out of the console compartment. If these conditions are found, the console compartment release button should be replaced.
It’s not necessary to replace the complete console armrest latch assembly.
Push-button Available as Separate Part
The spring-loaded push-button (PN 85133773) is available as a separate part without the latch assembly and can be ordered through the regular GM CCA parts process. Use the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), Service Information (SI) and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine the correct part number to order.
To release the console compartment door when the push-button is inoperative, insert a plastic trim tool behind the button.
With the compartment door open, use the trim stick to release the push-button from the latch assembly
Check that the spring remains with the push-button. If it does not, use a suitable tool to remove it from the armrest latch.
The spring and latch slider should be transferred to the new push-button.
