jerry65 Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 Does anyone know how to remove the upper dash area to access the push to start button hole? The lower dash under the steering column is easy as is the radio etc. The problem is the button is on the upper dash portion and accessibility is impossible without removing upper dash. Or... is the bezel that holds the button easy to pry out without breaking it from the face of the dash? Can't find a video or instruction on this anywhere. I've spent days searching. Thanks for any help/guidance. Susido 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CARR142 Posted March 1, 2022 Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 Welcome jerry65 to the forum. If this link works, let me know, It Is for a 2013, which is similar to 2011. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Bm0R4v-gZY486Mn51r1nQagF1z7Ih_vr&authuser=carrj142%40gmail.com&usp=drive_fs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerry65 Posted March 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 says I need to request access. Guess I'll see if its granted. The 2011 has the start button on the UPPER portion of the dash that encases the instrument cluster. No idea what a 2013 layout is other than they have push button tranny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerry65 Posted March 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 link didnt work. Thanks for trying though. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerry65 Posted March 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2022 Awesome. Got it. Thanks ! Looks like I can just pop the panel off. No screws. The link is for an Edge/MKX. Depicts edge more so but I'm sure it would apply to the MKX just as well. Very valuable schematic for the arsenal. Thanks again. Much obliged. I'll post back if its as easy as that lol.

Susido Posted September 25, 2022 Report Share Posted September 25, 2022 My 2011 MKX start/stop button also just pushed through the dash after a few years of barely hanging in there. I've just lost a fair bit of blood trying to get it back in position and am now resigned to dash removal. Hopefully that google drive document, if I receive it, will help.

I haven't tried to remove the dash yet, I hope a friend who is better at understanding schematics will help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CARR142 Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 There's a YouTube video that shows how to, (by way of removing the center console only). Make a bit more difficult but doable. Best Wishes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bex910 Posted May 4, 2023 Report Share Posted May 4, 2023 My 2011 Mkx just ate the push start as well so now I'm stranded at work. Any advice on a quick fix so I can go home? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bex910 Posted May 4, 2023 Report Share Posted May 4, 2023 So I figured out a much faster and easier trick to pop it back into place. I stuck a piece of gorilla tape to the side of the button and was able to use it to pull it back into space. No dash board unassembly needed.

Tim G Posted August 6, 2023 Report Share Posted August 6, 2023 the start button on my 2013 MKX just punched into the dash. Could I get information as to how to access it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burley99 Posted February 4 Report Share Posted February 4 2013 MKX I just had the push button fall I to the dash like the others above. With some arm twisting and removing one plastic pannel I was able to get it out do I can at least access it. Does anyone have access to the document or video to help me resolve my problem or am I destined to take it to the mechanic? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
