So you can't buy just the latch? What about from another parts source?socal4x wrote:My center console latch broke the other day, so I went over the parts dept. at my local Nissan dealer to find out about getting another one...
The latch was $15. However, they could only sell me the whole lid assembly at $145....
I'd have the service manager take 1 minute out of his/her busy schedule and "assess" the latch is broken on the spot. I can see waiting 1/2 hour while they replace it, but not waiting for them just to say they can confirm the thing is busted. Just apply pressure. If that doesn't work, take it to another service dept.Apparently the latch is on Technical Service Bulletin (TSB)....which means it will be replaced by Nissan for free, but I have to leave the vehicle at the dealer, they have to assess that the latch is truly broken, then order the part. When the part comes in, I have to bring the vehicle back for installation...
How do you know its $15, if it isnt available?The latch was $15. However, they could only sell me the whole lid assembly at $145....
I tried to buy just the latch too. The parts guy at the local dealership showed me the parts diagram and the latch was not available separate from the lid.So you can't buy just the latch?

The guy at the counter said..."Too bad you can't just buy the latch yourself...cause its only $15.00....If it weren't on TSB, you could!!!"
Could you be a bit more specific regarding the link? I tried the first six links from the Google search, and came up dry. Also, which part # is which color? Thanks.nvrdun wrote:I found the TSB and it does list part number!!
I then googled "nissan part number search" and clicked on the first link.
I entered the part number and bam part is only $12!!!!
