Plaid center console light turns off when fully opened?
- Thread starter electrongofast
- Start date
It does not. Deep console light is off when all drawers are open. If you start closing the top most slide (which covers the entire console), light trips on. If you slide that entire cover closed, the light remains on.
Mobile said they will look into it and left (not my preferred answer, but he was already here for three hours swapping the console). I have them coming out for separate issues Monday and we shall see.
@WilliamG or someone else - do we have the part number or the correct dipswitch configuration for the console? I will dig through this thread this weekend, but curious if someone has it readily available.

I don't have the correct part number I'm afraid. I haven't seen discussion on this for a good while. Figured everyone would have had it fixed by now.

This was the part that fixed my Aug 2021 manufactured Plaid console
CONSOLE, CNFGD
ASY, PER, WHITE,
TWL(1564400-64-D)
For future awareness, the following part does not work
CONSOLE, DECOR, WALNUT, ASSEMBLY(1564416-01-E)
Never a dull moment owning a Tesla.

It's mind-blowing how Tesla can STILL not be getting the console lighting correct after literally YEARS of building the refreshed Model S, and such a dumb error as well!
Crazy.
Just got my Tesla back and the third console does resolve the issue. First one (quoted here) did not but it seems they used the same part this go around but added the quoted part below. BE aware, they have changed the cup holders however to have three "grips" to hold cups better (I assume). And I hate it. Standard water bottles you have to force into the cup holders now.
For awareness, here is my part number from the invoice:
The lined cup holders with the grips has been around for a while. Mine was upgraded in 2021 and changed then.
Interesting, when in 2021? My car was delivered in November/2021 and did not come with them. However, this was the the first stint with replacing the console. Get the reasoning behind them, just not a fan.

Yeah, I had to buy a new smaller diameter coffee thermos to fit.

fyi. These fit the cupholders perfectly: https://www.amazon.com/Zojirushi-SM-SHE60BZ-Stainless-Steel-ounce/dp/B074L2PBY9
Sorry for the delay. It was replaced 11/20/2021. First of many replacing the console for me.
I was bitten by the backwards lighting yet again last night. I have given up on my wood trim and am replacing all wood with carbon fiber parts. Last night I replaced the rear screen with the thin bezel version and decided to tackle the center console decor swap at the same time.
I got it all back together and checked the lights. They were backward, off when open and on when closed. I took everything out again and spent some time with a multimeter in different positions. The only switch that was different from the wood decor was the sliding lid switch. The one in my wood decor was normally open and the one that came with the new carbon fiber decor (CONSOLE, DECOR, ASSEMBLY, TWILL 1564416-04-E) was normally closed. I swapped them and it worked fine afterward.
This had been fixed by Tesla previously. As a result, I have no way of knowing whether or not my wood trim switch that worked was the result of a previously changed switch or something else that compensated for a wrong switch. In any event I identified which switch was the culprit in case it helps someone else here. See the pic attached. There was no part number or identification that I could see on the switch.

Curious, but is Tesla STILL shipping center consoles with the wrong switch (assuming yours wasn't from a recycling yard)?
Also, how hard is it to replace the switch? I ask as I think all of our refresh MS's (all 2022's) had this issue and each time it was a new console. Wouldn't it have been far easier for the techs to just replace the switch?
Tesla is an odd, unsmart, company some times . . . .
I was pretty surprised that the wrong switch was there. It was a new and recent build that I bought from my SC. I also have a new MX console that I’m going to check. I’m thinking of putting the MX console in my MS.
The switch was simple to replace. I’m surprised they don’t have stock of replacements.

The replacement consoles have been correct for over a year. I eventually got working lights on my third center console on my 2021 sometime over a year ago. My 2024 is correct from the factory.
Eh I would not say so. I had one replaced weeks ago and it was wrong. Now they replaced one (technically my third) and the top slider makes a popping noise when opening from fully closed. Seems to be stuck on a latching mechanism.
Via service? No. They just rip and replace the console. @Bull might be able to make a recommendation given his surgery of his cars haha. I recall there being dip switches and someone has the electrical plans at one point (if I recall correctly). Maybe you could swap dip switches around or swap the boards.

Thanks for reminding me about this. When I first got the 2022 MS it was late December 2021. Told them about the issue so they tried another car in the showroom which operated the same way therefore the answer was "this is how it functions, nothing wrong". Was not going to try to convince them as I could see it was rather hopeless. I put in a service request today and they are supposed to send mobile service out to correct it, anxious to see what they will come up with compared to 2+ years ago.
