Hi, The center console latch is stuck on my BMW X5 2001. any idea how to get it unstuck?

are you clipping into correct latch[center belt] or internal spring or clip fail --replace not serviceable

probably not a good idea to disconnect battery ,as may have more problems when reconnect it, have the OBD read to see if the is a fault code first

First be sure the auto-lock is not on and that the entire liftgate can be opened.

Look for the small rubber button above and on the right side of the license plate. Try pushing that button to see if the rear window hatch pops.

If these efforts don't work, check the fuse associated with the "luggage compartment lid release switch"... it's a 20 amp fuse possibly located in slot 22.

A last resort would be removing the interior panel of the liftgate and locating the latch release for the hatch. You can find a schematic of the rear liftgate in an Internet search. Good luck!

There is a compartment on the top center of the windshield. This contains a bolt that released the latches that lock the top to the windshield. It takes an allen wrench to unwind the roof latch and it takes an infinite amount of turns.

pull on the handle like your opening the door and then try to unstick the latch

Dismount the cd changer so you can open it, and unstucked the cd tray.

TRY SOME WD 40 AND LUBE THE LATCH AND KEEP TRYING IT SHOULD BREAK LOOSE

you have to stick your head down by latch and look on side and use screwdriver to release it. its hard iv fought with them for 30 mins sometimes to get them unstuck. id suggest going to dealer if u cant get it.

Hi, I don`t know the car but sometimes when you can`t open a boot lid someone need to push the boot lid down ( this relase the pressure of the latch system)and the same time someone pull the handle. Hope that helps.

I have the exact same thing happen with my 03 silverado. I beat it open and then took out the plastic molded part the latch is in and noticed there's a little white plastic cylinder that fell out, but I don't know where it goes to fix it..... damm it....
