Lexus 33560-0E010 Unit Assy, Shift Lock Control

To work on RX330 models from 2004 onward, remove the cable attached to the negative battery terminal. Turn the knob that holds the Automatic Transmission Shift Levers and rotate it in the opposite direction to pull it out. Start by removing the four clips. Then lift the console panel up from its place above the Automatic Transmission Shift Levers. Pull off the two clips from below the radio panel, then take out the entire panel piece from there. Take off the side trim panels around the front door and the scuff plates beside each side of your car open doors. Remove the center console trim panel. Remove the glove compartment door assembly. Remove the floor carpet and the lower trim panel. Pull the shift cable off from where it meets the Automatic Transmission Shift Levers at the console. Disconnect the Automatic Transmission Shift Levers electrical connectors. Free the Automatic Transmission Shift Levers from the console by removing all its bolt connections. Taking out the parts goes the same way we put them in.

Disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery for Highlander models and 1999 through 2003 RX 300 models. Remove the center console trim panel, followed by the floor carpet and the lower trim panel. Disconnect the shift cable from the Automatic Transmission Shift Levers at the console and the Automatic Transmission Shift Levers electrical connectors from the Automatic Transmission Shift Levers assembly at the center console. Remove the mounting bolts and separate the Automatic Transmission Shift Levers from the console, noting the location of the Automatic Transmission Shift Levers mounting bolts, with a 2001 Highlander as an example. For 2004 and later RX 330 models, begin by removing the Automatic Transmission Shift Levers knob by rotating it counterclockwise. Next, remove the four clips and lift the console panel from the Automatic Transmission Shift Levers assembly, then remove the two clips and lift the trim panel from below the radio. Remove the front door cowl side trim panels and the scuff plates from the right and left door openings, followed by the center console trim panel and the glove compartment door assembly. Again, remove the floor carpet and the lower trim panel, disconnect the shift cable from the Automatic Transmission Shift Levers at the console, and disconnect the Automatic Transmission Shift Levers electrical connectors. Finally, remove the mounting bolts and separate the Automatic Transmission Shift Levers from the console, with the remainder of installation being the reverse of removal.
