Uh, how about this idea, ..., take it apart & figure it out?!? j/k, ...
Search function still works. This has been done before, there are threads with info out there.
Just remove the shift ****, then remove the screws holding the console, ...
When you have it upside down in your lap, I think you can figure it out from there.
