jerry65 Report post 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. 1 Susido reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CARR142 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jerry65 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jerry65 Report post Posted March 1, 2022 link didnt work. Thanks for trying though. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jerry65 Report post 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. 1 CARR142 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Susido Report post 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.

CARR142 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bex910 Report post Posted May 4 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bex910 Report post Posted May 4 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. 1 CARR142 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
