trouble locking center console
I'm having difficulty locking my center console on my '11 sahara. The key just won't turn all the way. Anybody having any similar problems?

Thanks guys. I guess I will get it looked at when I take it in for the first oil change, which should be very soon. Let me know how you made out. Thanks again.

So they stealership told me that everything is working fine, I just have to wiggle the key a little to lock & unlock it. WHAT? And also that it does lock, but if u pull hard enough it will come open. REALLY? Doesn't that mean it doesn't lock? The only good thing is I walked out of there with a free oil change.

I have only tried mine 1 time and now that I think about it I did notice it was really hard to turn. I will have mine looked at when I go for oil change also.

My 2011 worked for quite a while then I was having the same issue. I ended up finding I had a black comb that slid back to the hinge area that had just enough interference to set the lock off just enough. Personally I think the upper section is a bad design in that regards

Mine didn't work either...even when I forced it to lock, I could just give it a quick yank and it would open right up. The lock is junk. I replaced it with the Tuffy console insert.
